Seven screens are available:
— screen 1: main screen (temperature, current speed, the number of left and right surfs made since the beginning of the session, the elapsed distance, the time in stop / pause mode, or the chrono in running mode, and the indicator GPS signal quality (green = good, orange = medium, red = poor or nonexistent), and your current HR with colored HR zones
— screen 2: screen of the current session (temperature, heart rate with colored HR zones, the last three data of the last surf realized, in white (time - distance - speed), and the three data of the best surf realized during the session, in orange (time - distance - speed)
— screen 3 (only for high memory devices): uses the same data as the second screen, but in graphical form, with the addition of the time (in 12/24 hour format) and the current speed (see the descriptive image below for more explanations)
— screen 4 (only for high memory devices): "Ideal Spot" geolocation screen. This screen allows you to record your GPS position on the water at any time, and return to it using a heading and distance indication (see explanations below)
— screen 5: mapping screen (compatible models) with the track of your session and the visualisation of the "Perfect Spot" -> please see below for more explanations
— screen 6: screen of the best surf realized with, the best time, the longest distance traveled, and the best time, compared to the best surf over all the sessions
— statistical screen: the total number of surfing, the total distance, the surfing and swimming times, all sessions combined, in value and represented on a ratio gauge (surf time in purple and swimming time in pink)
— end session screen: displays a summary of the main data obtained during the session
The following data are recorded in the FIT file:
— in graphic form:
▪ speed, in km / h or knots (Garmin default data)
▪ altitude (Garmin default data)
▪ calorie expenditure during the session (Garmin default data)
▪ the speed of each surf, visible on the timeline (blue graph)
▪ the distance of each surf, visible on the timeline (green graph)
▪ the duration of each surf, visible on the timeline (purple graph)
— as laps:
▪ each surf done with, as recorded data, its duration, the surf distance and the average surf speed
— in the activity summary area:
▪ the number of surfs on the right and left sides of the session
▪ the number of aerials made during the session
▪ the total surfing time of the session
▪ the total swimming / paddling time of the session
▪ the best surf time of the session
▪ longest surfing distance of the session
▪ the best surf speed of the session
▪ the rating of your session
Note: all the options set in the menu are permanently saved into the watch so, no need to configure them each time you launch the application.
Note regarding models with semi-octagonal screen (Instinct 2, 2S and Descent G1:
due to their lower amount of memory, and their monochrome screen truncated by the physical circle, the application has the following differences compared to other models:
▪ no display of weather forecasts (but they nevertheless exist in the application when retrieving weather data)
▪ no display of global statistics
▪ no ability to assign scores/stats
▪ no second end of session screen
Apart from these differences, all the other functionalities are strictly identical to the other models.
Considering the time spent on its development and maintenance, this application is currently priced at 12USD.

Despite all the care taken with this application, and depending on the technical changes made to the development SDK by Garmin, as well as possible malfunctions linked to the firmware of each model (bugs introduced by Garmin, installation of beta versions on your watch, etc.), the application may not behave as expected. Consequently, rather than publishing bad comments on the site, please contact me directly by e-mail to inform me of the problem, and I'll do what's necessary to rectify it as soon as possible.
