“Trace is The Action Sports Tracker. Trace measures your performance and auto edits your most exciting moments whether taken from a GoPro, iPhone, Android or other camera. You connect Trace to your skis, board, or helmet, turn it on, and go. Trace connects to an app on your iPhone or Android where you can view your stats, see yourself improve, and share your accomplishments with friends.
“GoPro, iPhone, and Android video all integrate with Trace to find your rides and cuts out the boring stuff. Trace then color corrects your footage, adds your stats, and compiles them for you.”
You ain’t even in the game anymore unless there’s some hunk of GPS-enabled gadgetry or camera affixed to the nose of your favourite board. Or, in the case of the remarkable Rip Curl watch, wrapping your wrist in its electronics.

…may I say, welcome to BeachGrit! Do attend often!

one word, pathetic.
GPS on nose, GoPro on crown, software fizzing through our molecules. How you can not be impressed!
There is a sucker born every min and it’s a crime not to take his money from him? Unless your Fanning I fail to see how this gadget would improve anything other than the producers bank account. They are going to be loaded!
