“Hey, look at me! I’m on Facebook and I ran 2 miles in 10 minutes, I’m definitely fitter than you” Phrrrup. Whatever. If you know people who are into their fitness, you’ve probably seen a bit of Strava, some Garmin Connect and some other Nike app plastered on your social media feed. Most likely, you don’t really care. They run, we surf. But we have no evidence of our sessions to rub it in their faces. Until now!
In all seriousness, we do think the SearchGPS from RipCurl is a really cool idea. Knowing where you caught your waves, how many you caught, how far you rode them for and how fast you went is pretty special. If you are keen and competitive, it would also be an incredible training tool to help you push your surfing to the next level. Most of all, it would help cut the crap from your over enthusiastic surfer friend. They won’t be able to embellish the truth when you miss out on a session as you’d be able to find the evidence that they did not catch 50 waves and got rides that lasted 5 minutes.
The RipCurl Search GPS is coming soon. If you think it’s cool, let us know. We’re sure to get a few of these in to put them through their paces.
