The Challenge
The core challenge we faced was devising an integrated technological solution that catered two distinct user bases—surfing coaches and surfers—each with its own set of specific requirements.
While coaches needed a tool to effectively analyze and provide feedback on surfing sessions, surfers sought a personalized platform to access and purchase these insights along with their session recordings.
Here’s what we did
We adopted a user-centric development strategy, guided by Agile methodologies to ensure swift and responsive adaptation to the product requirements. Collaborative ideation sessions were held with Surfline stakeholders to identify key features and optimal user experience designs for both applications.
Our iterative development process allowed us to integrate emerging technologies seamlessly and address the unique needs of the surfing community.
Features
Designed to revolutionize the surfing experience for both surfers and coaches, ensuring enhanced security, personalized feedback, and efficient session management.
With these features, we aim to enhance user experience, improve performance, and streamline coaching processes.
