Who this is for
- Surfers who want an objective read on their form
- Anyone wondering "what should I fix first?"
- Self-coached surfers without easy access to a real coach
- Anyone drilling between surf sessions — pop-up reps at home or a surf skate run
How to use it (under a minute)
- 1️⃣ Pick your board — classic or performance longboard, midlength, shortboard, fish, or Land Training (pop-up practice or surf skate).
- 2️⃣ Upload your clip — mp4 / mov / avi, 10–30 seconds recommended, up to 500MB. A surfing ride, a living-room pop-up rehearsal, or a skate session all work.
- 3️⃣ Hit Analyze — Gemini reads the footage for ~30 seconds to 1.5 minutes.
What's in the report
- 🎯 Top priority fix — the single change that moves the needle most
- ✅ What's working — 3 to 5 strong points
- ⚠️ Weaknesses + how to fix — with a frame grab from the exact moment in your clip
- 🏃 Today's drill — an actionable practice plan with location, time, gear, and step-by-step instructions
💬 Want to dig deeper?
At the bottom of your report, chat with the coach AI for follow-up questions. Try things like "the drill looks intense — give me a lighter version" or "explain weakness #1 in more detail."

📹 What clip gets the best analysis?▾
The coach reads your body — stance, knees, torso lean. The clearer your body is in the frame, the sharper the feedback.
✅ Works best
- • Filmed from the side (not from behind / not head-on)
- • Whole body in frame, head to board
- • One ride — pop-up through the wave
- • 10–30 seconds long
- • Steady camera that follows you
- • Daylight, you're clearly visible
❌ Hard to analyze
- • You're a tiny dot far away
- • Body cut off at the edges
- • Heavy spray or backlight hiding you
- • Very shaky or fast-zooming footage
- • Mostly paddling / many rides crammed in
- • Dark or blurry footage
Tip: a side-on clip where your whole body stays in frame gives by far the most accurate read.
Frequently asked▾
Q. Is my video stored anywhere?
No. It's deleted the moment analysis ends — from our server and from Gemini. Only the text report is kept (signed-in users): 3 days on Free, 21 days with credits, forever on Pro.
Q. Do I need to sign in?
No, but it helps. Without signing in you get 1 free trial. Signed-in users get 1 free analysis per day plus saved reports. Need more? Buy credits or go Pro for unlimited + progress comparison.
Q. Where are my reports saved?
Only for signed-in users — your reports are tied to your account. Auto-deleted after 90 days, or delete them anytime from My Reports. Guest reports vanish when the browser tab closes.
Q. The report feels too generic. Why?
Common causes: the clip is too short (under 5 seconds), the angle hides your stance, or the ride is cut off mid-wave. Best results come from a clip showing one ride from start to finish.
Q. Can I share my report?
Yes — use the share button at the bottom of the report. Only the analysis text and frame captures are shared (never the video). Links expire 30 days after creation.
