Hi, I really like the app I have a fénix 5s but it doesn’t show me the longest wave, total waves and maximum speed, do you know what it could be? I have reboosted, shutdown, etc... and it doesn’t work...

The app is really good when out surfing. When you go to upload to phone to garmin app I am unable to see wave count, longest wave etc. Does anyone know how to see this information? Thanks

Hi. Seems when I start the app. When I look at the timer it freezes? Any ideas how to fix this please? I dont like using the open swimming app for my surfing. You guys my only hope.

Amazing app. Thanks! Since Garmin denies the right of using their app, this does the job pretty well!

GPS works great! Tracks your Location and where you surfed. Watch gives you the correct info during surfing. However after you upload the data to the phone, it does not give the “longest wave” ; “Total wave” and “Max speed” If you go into raw data then it shows additional info but the main screen is missing info. Additionally Expect deviation on waves counted. It does not correspond to reality. Data show and analysis in Phone could be better...

If you are outdoors and have a decent signal that screen should go green and then you can press start button to begin recording, it can take a couple minutes in a new place. If it isn't picking up a signal and other apps are working ok on GPS then it's usually an install problem which can be fixed by uninstalling the app and re-installing from the store

It didn’t quite track proportionally to my wave count. Does this app measure speed in KPH or MPH? How about distance?

This app does exactly as outlined. The whole purpose for me getting this app was specifically to track the time i spend on this activity each week into strava. This app makes it east to automatically save the raw data + gps map into strava. unfortunately due to Garmin's own decisions ride data doesn't sync which also means this doesn't integrate with the Surfline app to review rides. I spent like 5 hours trying to make my own custom activity data and it was pointless, this is good enough for what i need it for! My only suggestion / question to the developer is: the wave data i see is relatively accurate in small waves (under 5 ft) but once i'm in larger surf the # or rides is really inaccurate... again for me though, all I really wanted was how long i'm in the surf & a map of where I was at during that time... and it being in strava! thanks for doing that for me!

Got a Garmin Forerunner 645 for Christmas and have used this on three surfs since. Very well designed, slick and easy to use. I found it to be very accurate!

Peut être que je n'utilise pas bien l'application mais après plusieurs sessions je n'ai que le résumé de temps, la vitesse et les points Gps. L'appli ne me remonte aucun quantitatif de vague ni de distance...

Distance, speed and wave counts on watch seems accurate however I’m unable to display wave counts and stats (longest waves,etc) on the phone...any idea why? Thanks

I tried this app and it's seem work well however statistics on single waves such as speed, duration and left or right are missing. these statistics are instead present in the surftracker data field which I consider preferable at the moment.

The app works well for about 3 minutes and then it freezes. I am using it on a Garmin Fénix 5.

Seems to work pretty well. Wave count is generally accurate. The app shows null values for the Longest Wave, Total Waves and Max Speed bubbles but wave count and details are all present in the Laps tab. Thanks for creating this!

A great app to add surfing as an activity to your garmin. Thanks for creating this work around. It’s a pity garmin doesn’t allow you to format the data!

Cool App, cool Idea, cool handling. It`s a shame that Garmin Connect App doesn`t support this Data! Don`t worry and good Job!

I'm yet to use the app and I'm sure it is fine, from what I've read, given any limitations are due to the constraints set by Garmin. Kudos too for the developer's super dry sarcasm* *I'm not being sarcastic

Love the app but would wish the release notes are getting updates with new versions. Have you had any luck in contacting Garmin to make the surfs show up in Connect? Keep up the good work!

Hasn't been a new release in a while I'm afraid, I got fed up of the hate mail from users who didn't read the instructions and kind of gave up on the app. Problem with Garmin is the team who answer emails seem to have no connection with the team who actually implement anything so it's hard to get hold of anyone who even understands the question let alone answer it!

A little question. Are the settings in metric or imperial? And i guess the time is in seconds.

Developer, How do I get it to show waves and wave time on the Gramin connect app ??

Good app, however GPS is a bit off (it says I'm getting way more waves than I actually do with some ver long 125m waves). Ive tried tuning the minimum speed and times on a wave to have a more accurate reading. Is there a possibility to have both gps+galileo tracking? Also, cannot return to the home face watch whilst using the app (just adds waves to the count XD) Keep up the good work.

The way connectiq apps are set up there is no way to return to the watch face like you would with a built in app without first closing the app and ending tracking. At the moment the GPS is set to whatever you set last time you used a built in tracker, so if you set it to GPS+Galileo then it will use both, I believe Garmin are adding the ability for developers to set it per app in the next connect iq update though so I'll add it as an option then, some watch models do track better than others when in and out of water.
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
