What It Does

Generic video players are for entertainment, not technique analysis. Scrubbing is jerky, slow-motion is choppy, and zooming is impossible. Our Surf Video Player is purpose-built for high-performance coaching.

Advanced Analysis Features:

Variable Smooth Slow-Motion - Adjust playback down to 0.25x with frame interpolation, allowing you to see every detail of a bottom turn or air without the lag.
Pinch-to-Zoom & Pan - Get close to the action. Zoom into foot placement, rail engagement, or eye gaze on any device.
Precise Frame Stepping - Use frame-by-frame controls to find the exact moment of a critical mistake or a perfect maneuver.
Zero-Compression HD - We never downgrade your footage quality. Watch your 4K or 1080p clips with the same clarity they were filmed with.

By providing students with these tools, they don't just watch their waves—they study them, leading to faster progress and clearer understanding of your feedback.

How It Works

Open any clip

Tap any video in your gallery to open the surf video player.

Control playback speed

Slow down to 0.25x for detailed analysis. Smooth transitions between speeds.

Zoom into details

Pinch to zoom on any part of the frame. Study foot placement, arm position, weight distribution.

Step frame-by-frame

For critical moments, advance one frame at a time. See exactly what happened during popup, bottom turn, or maneuver.

Why This Matters

Smooth Slow-Mo

Not choppy like generic players. Smooth frame interpolation makes slow-motion analysis easy.

Zoom Anywhere

Pinch to zoom into any detail. See exactly what your feet, hands, or eyes were doing.

Full HD Quality

Never compressed. See every detail as it was captured. No pixelation or artifacts.
