The world's first AI skimboarding coach.
Run, drop, wrap — measured. And yes, it reads the wave too: our Wave IQ tells you if you went too early or too late on the shore-break.

What the coach measures
How much speed you carry into the drop. Speed is your only fuel on a skimboard - the wave doesn't give any back until you reach it.
Whether your run builds smoothly to full speed at the drop, or stutters and hesitates. A clean accelerating run means you committed early.
Steps between releasing the board and being on it. The one-step drop keeps your speed - every extra step bleeds it into the sand.
Back foot to front foot in one quick motion. A slow, hesitant mount is where most speed dies.
Feet around shoulder width on the board - wide enough to be stable, close enough to stay mobile for the wrap.
A low, athletic crouch on the glide. Straight legs get bucked by every ripple; bent knees absorb them.

Drills the coach prescribes
On a thin sheet of water with no waves, do run-drop-mount reps at full speed. All the mechanics, none of the wave pressure.
Walk, drop the board, and step on in ONE stride. Start at walking pace and only add speed when it's automatic.
Stand still and practice dropping the board perfectly flat - no nose-stab, no bounce. The board should kiss the water.
Board static on wet sand: jog up and land both feet in position - back foot on the tail, front foot over the middle. Look at your feet after each rep.
How to film it
- ✓ Film from close to the water's edge so the rider fills a real chunk of the frame - if they look tiny on your screen, walk closer or zoom in. We score the RIDER; keep the wave just in frame, not the whole beach
- ✓ Film LANDSCAPE from the beach, side-on to the run
- ✓ Keep the wave zone just inside the edge of the frame - we read the water too, but the rider comes first
- ✓ Start recording a few steps before the run; stop after the ride-out
- ✓ 60fps if your phone has it
