In Use Case 1, a surfer aims to enhance their barrel riding technique in a wave pool. Through Surf Log, the surfer can establish a goal to increase successful barrel rides by 10% weekly. By selecting specific habits to focus on and defining success metrics, the surfer can track progress effectively. Surf Log enables the surfer to log details of each session, including the type of barrel wave encountered and the number of successful rides. The app offers visual progress representations, aiding the surfer in evaluating goal achievement and identifying performance patterns.
In Use Case 2, the objective is to enhance overall wave pool performance by concentrating on different skills during each session. Surf Log facilitates this process by allowing the surfer to tag sessions with the primary skill under focus, such as cutbacks, aerials, or turns. The surfer can jot down session notes highlighting areas of improvement or success for each skill. Through the app’s timeline feature, users can track their progress across sessions, enabling them to assess skill development over time. This functionality assists surfers in pinpointing skill areas that require additional practice and adjusting their training regimen accordingly.
