Name: PumpFoil Runs
Author: Morand

Count your pump foil runs and measure every one of them, without noting anything down.

Stand at your launch point, set the start from the menu, and the app does the rest. One buzz at the end of an attempt if it fell short, two if it counted.

WHAT SETS IT APART

When the flight stops you fall, and your wrist goes under water at the exact moment it should be measuring: around 20 % of positions are missing, always at the end of runs. Everything here is built around that hole — a clock independent of GPS, and a run ending read from heading, not from speed alone.

The start is read at the wrist: effort on the dock leads the speed-up by about five seconds, which no speed threshold can see. That is also what makes failed launches countable — the effort happened, the speed did not follow.

Classes follow your declared level, from beginner to top: you move the scale as you progress, instead of relabelling your runs one by one.

ON THE WATCH

Live speed, run distance and duration. Your last run, one press away. Distance and time classes. Totals, averages and maxima. The history, and the full detail of any run.

IN YOUR FILE

A normal Garmin activity, plus fields specific to pump foiling: distance, duration, classes, pump count, exit speed, flight consistency. And three-axis acceleration at 100 Hz, which pump cadence analysis needs. About 5 MB per hour, switchable off in the settings.

SETTINGS

Only one really matters: your level. The rest — thresholds, launch burst, heading reversal, start radius — is calibrated and best left alone.

BUTTONS

SELECT stops and offers resume, save or discard. BACK closes the run in progress. MENU (long press) opens the settings, "Start point here" first. UP and DOWN move through the screens.

WORTH KNOWING

Pump counting is still experimental. The end of a run is the weak link, and that is structural: about two seconds of error against hand-marked endings.
