About
CheckMySurf is a groundbreaking AI-powered video capture and content distribution system designed exclusively for Wavegarden surf park facilities. Using AI-trained facial recognition software and 4K cinema-grade cameras with intelligent zooming, the system identifies each surfer at the start of their session—no wristbands, antennas, or physical devices required—and records every wave they ride across the entire lagoon, including both the Reef and Bay areas. Immediately after each session, CheckMySurf automatically edits and assigns personalized video clips to the correct surfer. These clips can be viewed, downloaded for technique analysis, and shared directly to social media. Real-time wave replays are displayed on outdoor LED screens near the take-off point, enabling surfers to review and refine their performance between waves. For surf park operators, CheckMySurf acts as both a premium guest experience enhancer and a dynamic revenue stream. The system operates on a revenue-share model with no significant upfront capital investment (beyond LED screens), and integrates seamlessly with the park's existing booking system. Operators can also display targeted ads and branded content on LED screens. Looking ahead, CheckMySurf will introduce an automatic 3D biomechanics coaching tool powered by AI visual learning, delivering personalized, wave-by-wave performance tips to each surfer. The platform is GDPR-compliant, remotely updated, and fully supported by Wavegarden.
