Rip Curl Virtual Pro

We had an overwhelming amount of data from Search GPS users who were logging their surfs, and so many ways we could use it.

When Rip Curl Search GPS smartwatch users logged a session during the 10-day competition, their surf data was automatically entered. Data logged was analysed and scored by a unique algorithm based on five key criteria: distance paddled, surf time, total waves surfed, top speed, longest waves and the number of surfs, culminating in a final score.
