Just surfed with the new surf solar. Stand-up Surf. At the end of the session I had a total distance and only 4 waves tracked. Is there a way to adjust the threshold values to capture all the sloppy new England waves?

Forget about it, I posted https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/instinct-solar/242425/instinc-solar-surf-don-t-count-waves?ReplySortBy=CreatedDate&ReplySortOrder=Ascending

As you can see it is not working in any condition, but strangely surfing (not SUP) seems to track better the waves... I suppose that is because thee Programmation thresholds... In surf tracker in an old garming device, vivoactive HR, it worked... Because uses GPS speed variation not in height planes but in the surface in the sea...

I probably sell it. It Is trash for surfing in a SUP.

This watch sucks for surfing. It cant tell the difference between paddling for a wave and riding a wave. My Apple watch with the Dawn Patrol App was way better (other than the battery life issue) Also I have the Rip Curl GPS which is way more accurate than this 400 dollar watch.

When you post these commentaries try to explain which activities on the Garmin you use and ts condition (GPS every second etc...)

We suppose you use thee surf Activity for pad SUP session, doing SUP waves, are these assumptions correct?

If not, clarify if you use SURF activity or whatever...
