Wavetracks GPS allows you to track your entire surf session and view performance data for each successfully ridden wave after you finish surfing.
Distance
The distance from taking off on a wave to kicking out of the ride.
Duration
The duration time from taking off on a wave to kicking out of the ride.
Direction of Travel
The direction of travel (peel angle) varies between 90° (straight to the beach) for a beginner, and approximately 26° for a more experienced wave rider. More experienced surfers can get further along each wave, more quickly and at a shallower angle.
Max Speed
The maximum speed over the duration of the ride, often the take-off, or one big top turn off a critical section of the wave.
Average Speed
This is the average speed taken over the duration of the ride.
Potential Speed
The potential speed increases with the wave height. The bigger the wave, the faster it will move and the higher the potential speed a surfer can achieve.
Potential Reached
The potential reached is the average speed for the whole ride against the potential maximum speed. Maintaining speed through turns and transitions, close to the maximum potential means fast, fluid riding.
