[Regression bug] Speed units always set to knots for windsurfing activity

Bug was injected in Garmin Connect during activity type update. If activity type is set to "Windsurfing" then speed unit's are set to knots regardless of the device settings. The bug was injected during October 2021, when activity name for windsurfing was changed from "wind/kite surfing" to "windsurfing". This bug affects only "windsurfing" activity. Changing activity type in Garmin Connect to "Kiteboarding" (or other) fixes the issue and can be used as temporary workaround.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Set Garmin watch speed units to kilometres.

2) Record some activity using any built-in tracking application.

3) Load activity to Garmin Connect and make sure speed is displayed in "kph"

4) Edit the activity and change the activity type to "Windsurfing".

5) See that speed units are changed to "knots".

Expected result:

Speed units for windsurfing activity should match the device settings.

    Hi Brad,

    Yes, I can see the KPH on activity summary page of the Garmin Connect Android app. However when I switch to the speed chart page, the speed is shown in knots and I could not find the way to change it to KPH.

    Web version of Garmin Connect enables to switch between kt/kph in the Timing section, and the units of the speed chart is changed accordingly, but it looks like this is not the case for  the Android app. And the reason why I think that it's regression because there were no such issue before October 2021.

    Are you unable to view KPH at all? You should be able to see user units for speed under the full activity details.
