My friend (he’s a surfer and works in IT) built a simple app with AI surf camera. You leave your phone on the beach (tripod or just something stable), go surf, and the camera uses AI to detect surfers catching waves. When it sees someone take off, it zooms in, records the ride, and later processes the clip - cropped, cleaned up, ready to share. So instead of a 2h video, you get short clips of actual rides.
Honestly, it feels like this could be really useful for beginners/intermediates who want to see what they’re actually doing and improve faster.
The obvious downside is… yeah, you’re leaving your phone on the beach😅 so you’d probably want someone keeping an eye on it, or set it up somewhere safe.
Curious what you think — would you actually use something like this for your sessions?
