Drop a clip from your GoPro, your friend's iPhone, or that drone shot. RideGuide watches every wave and tells you what worked, what didn't, and what to fix next — in under a minute.
Drag an MP4, MOV, or WebM. Up to 20MB on the free plan — enough for a couple of waves.
Run Maneuver Analysis. We watch every frame and break the session into individual moves.
Get instant, specific notes on each maneuver — execution, what went wrong, and the fix.
"I went from filming and never watching to actually fixing my bottom turn in two sessions. Unreal."
"The improvement notes alone saved my comp warmup. I sent it to my whole crew before I told my coach."
"The session summaries are the only reason my cutbacks finally clicked. Literally."
Your sessions turned into wave-by-wave coaching notes. Ready when you are.
GoPro, iPhone, drone, whatever. We'll watch every frame and turn it into maneuver-by-maneuver notes so the session actually sticks.
p.s. trim before you upload — short clips give sharper notes ✿

"Surfing shouldn't be a guessing game. It should feel like the 45 minutes after a session — fresh, focused, and clear on what to fix next."
RideGuide is a surf-coaching app that turns any clip you upload — a phone video, a GoPro chest mount, a friend's drone shot — into a maneuver-by-maneuver breakdown. Bottom turn. Cutback. Snap. Floater. Re-entry. Air.
We built it because every other coaching app makes you review the footage yourself. Which is, uh, the hard part. We flipped that: you hand us the clip, we hand you the notes.
Because watching your own surf footage is brutal. And nobody has time to re-watch a 90-second wave thirty times before sunrise.
Specific, timestamped notes (what we do) vs. squinting at your phone screen (what you do at 6am). Backed by 40 years of motor-learning research.
Drop the wave, get a full breakdown in under a minute. No more "I'll look at it tonight."
Three sessions a month forever. $9 if you want unlimited. No "trial" nonsense.
You upload. We watch. You pick a mode. We analyze. You surf better.
Three surfers who kept reviewing the same waves with their friends and eventually built a way to do it without arguing. (Honestly, we spent more time building this than we did surfing. But our cutbacks are sharper now, which feels like a win.)
Used to make zines in high school. Now makes interfaces. Longboard kook. Lives on cold-brew and sunrise checks.
Built his first app at 14. Pre-med dropout turned full-stack engineer. Writes all the vision bits. Can't catch a left.
Turned her local surf crew into a 200-person Discord. Now does the same at scale. Speaks four languages, three badly.
