more If you are into kiteboarding and started jumping already this app is a must have. I use it to challenge my friends and myself to become a better kiteboarder. The app interface is intuitive and easy to use and the Wetsuit mode makes it super accessible for everyone to start measuring how high they jump.

Several minor bug fixes
2.90 04/30/2024
For iPhone and Apple Watch:
**Improved low jump recognition.
200-300% improvement of jump recognition in the 1 to 3-meter range. Beginners will now have their jumps recognized.
You can now set the minimum jump height to just 1 meter. This means that Surfr will start recognizing your jumps already from 1 meter and up. You can also do this on your iPhone via Profile / Settings. To do so open the Surfr. app on your watch, go to Settings / Advanced and change this setting to your liking.
For Apple Watch:
**Modular display.
A whole new main recording display, where you can determine yourself what you want to see during your session.
Open the Surfr app on the watch, go to Settings / Change Layout and decide which information is relevant to you.
**Downwinder support.
Select your downwind destination and use Surfr for navigation and spot information while on the water. A world-first feature by the Surfr. App using the Surfr. Discover database. From now on, it’s possible to use Surfr on your Watch for a downwinder. Pick your destination and go! The new Downwinder feature will be your Google Maps on the water, navigating you to your destination while keeping you informed about the spots and places you're passing.
** On-board coaching.
A first step towards on-board coaching where the watch will teach you how to jump higher. Onboard coaching will tell you on the water how fast you went on your last tack, both the maximum speed as well as the average speed. The colors, red-orange-green, will tell you if you are on track for higher jumps. Open the Surfr. app on your Apple watch, go to Settings and select Advanced. There you can enable on-board coaching.
** Switching display.
Switch the main part of the display with a simple button press to get the information you want - when you need it. Just single press the action button (Ultra) or single press the crown + side button (non-Ultra watches) and the display switches.
** Pausing a session.
You can now pause your session. Go for that lunch break and continue where you left off when back on the beach.
** Improved and extended button support.
Use the buttons on your watch to start, pause, stop a session, and much more. We created a full touchless experience to make your life easier on the beach and in the water.
The following button combinations are available by default:
Non-Ultra watches
*Single press crown + side button: Switch display
*Double press crown + side button: Pause or Resume
Ultra watches
*Single press action button: Switch display
*Double press action button: Chat
*Double press Action button + side button: Pause or Resume

We hope you like the update as much as we do, regards, The Surfr. Team
