Abstract

Claims (19)

1. A system configured to track physical surfing activity of a user, the system comprising:

a first device worn by the user configured to generate and store information related to physical surfing activity of a user during a current surf session, the first device comprising:

one or more sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the physical surfing activity of the user during the current surf session; and

electronic storage configured to electronically store the information related to the physical surfing activity of the user during the current surf session,

wherein the first device is configured to communicate with a second device associated with the user that is physically separate and unconnected from the first device, the second device comprising one or more physical computer processors configured to:

responsive to the user completing the current surf session, obtain the information related to the physical surfing activity of the user during the current surf session;

determine one or more current surf parameters for the current surf session, the current surf parameters indicating an amount of physical surfing activity of the user during the current surf session; and

electronically store the current surf parameters with corresponding previous surf parameters determined for previous surf sessions to facilitate tracking the user's individual surfing activity for multiple surf sessions.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors of the second device are configured to electronically store the current surf parameters with the corresponding previous surf parameters on a remotely located server.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors of the second device are configured such that the surf parameters include one or more of a paddle count, a session duration, a wave count, individual wave ratings, or an overall session rating.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is configured such that the one or more sensors include one or more of a GPS sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, an altimeter, or a temperature sensor.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a watch.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second device is a smartphone associated with the user.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors of the second device are configured to obtain the information related to the physical surfing activity of the user during the current surf session responsive to the user completing the current surf session and the first device being in proximity to the second device to facilitate communication between the first device and the second device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors of the second device are further configured to:

receive a surf session rating from the user that indicates an enjoyment level of the user for the current surf session;

obtain surf information for a physical, geographic surf location of the current surf session, wherein the surf information for the surf location is regularly obtained from one or more external sources of information accessed via a wireless communication network such that the obtained surf information reflects surf information for the surf location during the current surf session; and

responsive to receiving a positive enjoyment level rating from the user, cause a user interface of the first device to display an alert to the user when subsequently obtained surf information for the surf location from the one or more external sources of information is substantially similar to the surf information for the current surf session.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more physical computer processors of the second device are configured such that the surf information includes one or more of a time of day, a wave height, a surf condition rating, a current tide indication, a water temperature, an air temperature, swell information, or weather information.
