Missed us? We missed you. We've been heads down. Turns out shipping a feature and shipping a feature that works are two different things. Remember those crew notifications from 3.0.20? This one's us closing that gap. Crew Alerts now actually say "Crew Alert." Tap one and you land on the surf, not the Feed. And we've stopped the app pinging you about sessions from 2017. Yes, that was happening. Notifications screen scrolls now. Deleting a notification no longer summons its own ghost. Bunch of crashes quietly sorted. In this update: Crew Alerts properly titled Tap-through goes to the actual surf Historical sync no longer triggers notifications Notifications screen scrolls when full Delete no longer re-summons the notification GPS sync crash fixed Stability fixes across maps, Bluetooth, and watch connectivity Turns out the silence was just us shipping.

Small one this time. We're not going to dress it up. Mostly under-the-hood housekeeping so the app keeps running clean and we get a clearer picture of what's actually useful versus what's just sitting there taking up space. The less interesting this update looks, the harder it's working in the background. Think of it as us paying attention. We're tracking what's worth building next so the bigger releases land on instinct, not guesswork. Your sessions, your privacy, your data settings: all exactly where you left them. Nothing changed there. In this update: Behind-the-scenes analytics tuning so we know what to build next General housekeeping and stability Back to your regularly scheduled surfing.

We’ve been busy. This one’s all about tightening things up, protecting your sessions, and making the app feel a whole lot sharper day to day. First up, your privacy settings now actually behave themselves. If you’ve chosen to hide a surf or keep a location under wraps, it stays that way. No leaks. No surprises. Just how it should be. We’ve also added push notifications so you know when your crew finishes a session. No more checking the app like a maniac. We’ll tap you on the shoulder instead, with smarter timing that actually reflects when things happened, not just when they synced. The quiver got a small but important fix too. Boards are now the length you set. No mystery bonus inches sneaking in. And behind the scenes, we’ve been digging into performance and figuring out exactly where to tune this thing. You’ll start to feel improvements already, with more to come as we keep dialling it in. In this update: • Fixed hide surf and hide location so your privacy settings stick • Added push notifications when your crew logs a session • Improved notification timing so it reflects real surf times • Fixed board length showing incorrect values • Ongoing performance improvements across the app Also, for a bit of perspective… Over 4.1 million surfs have now been recorded. Our most committed surfer has logged 2,160 sessions. And the most surfed break? Huntington Beach. Not bad

Issue found. Issue dealt with. Let’s carry on. This release brings back the planned improvements, properly tuned and behaving exactly as intended. If you’ve deleted a board from your quiver, your past sessions don’t pretend it never existed. The history stays intact and it’s now clearly identified, so you can see what you were riding back then versus what’s current. No disappearing acts. The Feed also got a lift. Crew sessions now show up more consistently, so it actually feels like your mates have been out there getting waves instead of ghosting the app. In this update: • Clear visual identification for boards deleted from your quiver • Historical board data preserved and properly displayed in session details • Expanded crew session visibility to bring more life to the Feed Clean rollout. Features behaving themselves. Exactly how it should be.

We’re hitting reset. After rolling out 3.0.17, we ran into performance issues around loading and database calls. If it’s not working properly, it’s not good enough. So we’ve rolled back to a stable version while we fix it the right way. Turns out calling on over 4.2 million surf sessions at once is… ambitious. Who knew. We’re tightening things up behind the scenes and making sure the re-release performs exactly as intended before it goes live again. App stability and performance remain non-negotiable. We’d rather pause, correct course, and get it right than leave something half-baked out there. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll be back with it done properly.

This was a big release, even if a lot of the work happened behind the scenes. We rolled out a major infrastructure update and used it to focus hard on performance, reliability, and making sure the basics just work. You should notice faster loading, smoother navigation, fewer blank states, and better behaviour when your connection isn’t perfect. Your Feed also got a lift. Crew sessions now show up more consistently, and notifications do a better job of letting you know when your mates have been out, both in the app and via push. We also added some much-needed clarity to your surf history. If a board has been deleted from your quiver, your past sessions still keep that record, and it’s now clearer what’s current and what’s been removed. In this update: • Major performance and infrastructure improvements • Faster loading and smoother navigation across the app • Better behaviour on slow or unreliable connections • Expanded crew session visibility in the Feed • Improved in-app and push notifications for crew activity • Clearer surf session details when a board has been deleted • Stability improvements and crash fixes Performance and reliability remain an ongoing focus. We’ll keep tightening things up as we go.

This update is about making the app feel more alive, easier to use, and smoother where it matters. On Apple Watch, things got quicker and more intuitive. You can now start a session straight from a Watch complication, and end one using the Digital Crown instead of fiddling with on-screen controls. Behind the scenes, we’ve also been spending time on performance. Tracking down lag, tightening things up, and making sure the app feels smoother and more responsive today. And we’re not stopping there. You’ll see this continue to improve in the next release too. In short, we: • Added Apple Watch complications for faster session starts • Enabled ending a Watch session using the Digital Crown • Continued performance and responsiveness improvements Clean-ups, quality-of-life upgrades, and a smoother experience all round.

Quick one. We picked up an issue where distance numbers weren’t behaving themselves and started showing the same value across the app. Month, Year, All time, even individual sessions… not ideal. The good news is your data was always spot on. This was just a display hiccup from a recent update, and it’s now been fixed. Everything’s back to showing the right distances, in the right places, the way you’d expect. In this update: • Fixed an issue causing incorrect distance values to display • Distances now show correctly for sessions, Month, Year and All time views • No impact to your actual surf data Thanks to everyone who flagged it quickly. We moved fast on this one so you can get back to trusting what you’re seeing.

Some of you opened the app and were greeted with an empty Track tab, like your entire surf history had decided to clock off early. Not great. We fixed it. Your sessions are now showing up properly instead of vanishing into the void. We also spent time tightening up the charts so they read cleaner and feel more consistent. And the big addition this release is Year view, which is completely new and ready to roll. It gives you a simple month-by-month breakdown of your year so you can actually see how things stacked up without any fuss. Distance formatting got a tidy little refresh too. Shorter labels, clearer units, and no more odd formatting quirks. Also in this update: • Track tab sessions returning as expected • All new Year view with month-by-month bars and clear yearly totals • Smarter scaling across the Month and All time charts • Cleaner labels and more consistent layout in Track • Updated distance formatting using m and km where it makes sense We will keep tuning and polishing things each release so the app feels tighter every time you open it.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the fixes from 3.0.12 and we’re happy to report… nothing happened. In the best possible way. No crashes. No sync dramas. No surprises. Just the app behaving itself like it finally learned some manners. A few of you let us know your Track tab looked emptier than a carpark on a 2-foot onshore day. Good news: your surfs were never gone, the app was just being shy. We’ve sorted the display logic so your sessions show up properly again. We also gave the Month and All time charts a solid clean-up. Out with the weird scaling. In with sensible axes, proper labels and charts that actually reflect how much you’ve been surfing, not how much blank space we can fit on a screen. This update includes:   •  Continued monitoring of the 3.0.12 crash fixes (still holding strong)   •  Track tab sessions showing up again like they should   •  A fresh, smarter Month chart with proper scaling and readable labels   •  An All time graph that finally reflects your real surf history   •  More polish, more consistency and less head-scratching overall We’ll keep tuning, fixing and refining so the app stays solid every time you open it. No drama, no stress, just the good stuff.

We’ve been putting in the work to make sure your app fires up fast and keeps things running smooth. No more sluggish starts, no more random crashes, just a solid, reliable experience every time you open it. This one’s all about tightening things up and making sure everything works the way it should. We’ll keep tuning and improving so you can use it without a second thought. This update includes: • Faster and more consistent app launches • Ongoing performance and reliability upgrades

Ever forgotten to hit End on your surf and ended up logging your drive to the bakery for a sausage roll? Yeah, us too. Now you can surf crop it out. Trim the start or end of your session using easy-grab handles on the timeline so you can ditch the walk up the beach or your detour to the servo. When you crop, your map, stats and brag-worthy numbers update instantly (though you might lose a few achievements you didn’t technically earn between sets). Surf smarter, crop cleaner and keep your sausage roll runs where they belong… off the leaderboard. Also in this update: • Surf Crop – Trim your session like a pro editor • Minor UI updates – Small tweaks to keep things smooth after iOS 26 and WatchOS 26 • Liquid Glass – A fresh new look across key parts of the app, with more to come.
