Yeah the Rip Curl surf watch would work fine on a SUP for surfing if you just want a specialist watch for that sport. I use the Sunnto Ambit 2 watch with a heart rate monitor which is better as it is designed for other sports too and ideal for flat water SUP training. The Sunnto website portal offers third party apps to use which include Wave Count and Speeds and my favorite Beers Burnt Off! It's great to know after a hard SUP surf how many beers you are entitled to...

The unique feature of the Rip Curl watch is that it actually automatically identifies the waves you surf and separates details of the waves (number, distance, speed, mapping) from times not actually surfing and just paddling around (as well as the mapping, sharing etc etc features of the app). No other watch or GPS device does this (patent pending). It does not do some of the more sport based things like HR etc but some distance paddlers are using them to determine how much of their workout is paddling and how much is wave assisted... but its real use and focus is in the surf. I work for Rip Curl by the way!!!

Er…I brew my own beer so it is much more a case of trying to keep things in balance. That is why I like the Beers Burnt Off app using the Sunnto heart rate monitor…keeps things in perspective eh
