About

Surf Diary — surf activity tracker for Instinct 2, built for prone paddling data. Tracks what Garmin's built-in Surf activity can't show you: • Paddle stroke count (25 Hz wrist accelerometer detection) • Paddle distance vs. wave ride distance • Wave count with Left / Right classification (auto beach-direction by GPS at supported spots) • Per-wave time, distance and top speed (recorded as laps) • Total ride time vs. paddle time All metrics are written to the FIT file and visible in Garmin Connect under CONNECT IQ data, including per-second stroke and distance charts. Detection thresholds follow field-proven surf tracking parameters (min speed 9 kph, min duration, peak speed filter). Tuned for Instinct 2 Solar; monochrome-optimized single-page display with heart rate in the sub-window, current/sunset time, and live speed.

What's new

Fixes a crash on Start caused by exceeding the CIQ FIT custom-field limit on Instinct 2. Removed five threshold-record fields that were only for internal reference; all actual measurement fields (waves, paddle, sea conditions, ride heading) are unchanged.
