The Ultimate Watch For Surfers

 

A lot of us have fond memories of "Surfing Safari's." 

Driving to surf spots in search of good waves.

Now there is a watch that eliminates the necessity of those safari's.

 Unlike other smartwatches, you won't be receiving texts, getting directions or playing games on the Ultratide. It's all business — or rather, no business allowed, just what's relevant to getting in front of a wave.

 The Ultratide features Bluetooth® wireless technology to provide you with real time data, including wave height, swell direction, wind direction and speed, water and air temperatures, Surfline rating, and custom Surf Alerts.

 The Ultratide provides the user with 10 live data points of forecast details, which is 10x the amount of data typically found in surf/tide watches.

 Browse the entire Surfline network of spots — over 3300 and growing — and select your favorites.

Set up custom alerts for each spot and the Ultratide will make sure you never miss an epic session again.
