Reviews: What People Think About Rip Curl Search GPS

Luis F Monteiro

Rating: 3/5

so far I tried surf tracing, running and swimming. The ripcurl GPS 2 watch seems to track surfing more accurate than the previous watch. However, I guess it disregards short distance waves. Previous version used to included every attempt you paddle, whereas this one seems to record only 20 meters long waves or longer than that. Swimming in the pool was very disappointing. I swam 4.4 Km whileas the watch recorded 6.4 km. The photo was very odd, as if I had swum in dry surfaces areas adjacent to the pool. I noticed there is a delay on speed. When you have just completed a set and are waiting to go for another, the speed last few seconds until goes to zero speed. Please reply whether you can fix these items above. I enjoy the watch despite of these negative points...

I have been surfing since 1987 and got the original RipCurl GPS1. Over the past couple years I have had the GPS2 watch. I am addicted to it...and if I forget to wear the watch for a surf...I have to go home and get it. However, Rip Curl just deleted THE BEST FEATURE when they released the GPS3 - the ability to read your GPS coordinates live while surfing. What this means is that you no longer had to triangulate objects on the coast in order to know where you sit in the lineup. I could paddle out at my home break and sit pretty much exactly where I want to purely based on memorizing the last portion of GPS digits which relate to specific parts of the reef or recent sandbar. If a rip current pushes everyone in the lineup off the peak...I know exactly where to paddle back to. I also love this for surf trips. You can step off the plane in somewhere like Nicaragua...never know the break...but after sitting near the takeoff you can again memorize the last digits of the GPS coordinates and quickly sit as deep as you want and catch a ton of waves...just like you have the place wired from years of knowledge. Anyway...not sure if what I described makes sense...but managing where you sit in the lineup based on GPS and not via triangulation was by far...a game changer for any surfer. If possible…Rip Curl should release a software update that brings back live GPS readings on the watch.

I’ve consistently used the rip curl Search 1 and 2 watches with the app for 10 years, since March of 2015. I’ve put in over 478 ocean miles this year alone between surfing and prone paddling. Up to today I was a huge fan. Now I’m extremely disappointed that the app updated and now it's a subscription service. Plus the app crashes constantly and won’t even open. The watch will still show last session data but won’t show longest wave. Plus small/slow waves don’t register and the only way to count them is to load to the app and use the replay session function. So now the watch is almost ok by itself, if you don’t care about longest wave or true number of waves ridden, but the app and service literally have no value anymore. I’m deeply saddened that I might be forced to get a Garmin or Apple Watch to track my ocean stats moving forward.
