The challenge
Training for aspiring world class surfers has its fair share of challenges with communication being a major challenge. There are few issues as complicated as the manner by which surfers are taught due to the distances between them and their coaches along with the effects of water displacement. Furthermore, the fact that most surf training take place in areas that are hard to access and quite remote only adds to these problems of communication. The conventional approaches require surfers to swim back and forth to the shore for each conversation, resulting in rather tedious and unproductive practice sessions. This constant disruption is unproductive , time-consuming and hinders the implementation of lessons learned from the coaching process making it virtually useless at the moment.
The smart solution
In response, we have designed an exciting IoT application for surfing that revolutionizes the ways of communicating during surf training. The experience of using our IoT application is as simple and intuitive as it can be while incorporating cutting edge of the technology, making it highly effective for both surfers and their coaches.
Key features of our IoT surf training solution include:
Our IoT surf training solution using smart watches, Small Sensors and Communication Nodes, and smartwatch/mobile applications revolutionizing the surf coaching communication. Surfers wear smart watches that record real-time data and enable two-way communication. The BLE amplifier significantly extends the range of the communication which is limited by distance and water barrier. Coaches rely on a dedicated tablet application to track all surfers simultaneously , providing real-time feedback and instructions. Our solution provide the necessary security and simplicity to be easily integrated into other surf equipment therefore enhancing the training process for both athletes and coaches.
With this approach, our cutting-edge IoT applications in sport boosts the effectiveness of surf training and hence give the athletes the opportunity to make the most out of their time in the water to pursue their dream of becoming world-class athletes.
