While I love to surf, currently working more inland, so been doing more sup. I was training for a race and wanted a way to see how much paddling tweaks changed my speed, so I wrote an app. Been using it for awhile and finally cleaned it up and put on the apple app store (paddle assist).

I would love to get some feedback. Just a disclaimer, I know the looks need work, but really I use it to hear the speed, not watching screen.

PS- msg if you would like a promo code for the app.
~~Paddle assist will help you learn to race faster. Think of it like a metronome while you paddle. You can learn what helps you go faster and also will help you keep pace. The program will tell you your speed, just like when you passed your coach. You don’t need to watch the screen, but just to listen to speed.
On a predefined interval (30 seconds default), it will tell you your make speed for the last period. Then every X minutes (5 minutes default) it will tell you sats as you paddle. Key stats such as time, total distance, total duration and current heading.
The app won’t stop you music, but will speak over the top.
The app also has coach mode that looks at your speed and will either praise or push depending on if you are above or below you needed speed.
While it is great for races, it is even better for training or just a cruise to keep track of how you are doing.
