It’s not anything remotely resembling accurate.
But yeah, playing make-believe is pretty cool sometimes.
The calorie estimates for surfing on the apple watch apps is hilarious. I don't know how accurate it is for other exercises, but surfing is so bad.
My wife upgraded my apple watch for me. I mostly just use it as a timer in the kitchen. I tried to track my paddles but I typically go where service drops out, so it doesn't track anything but the time and my heart rate.

Surfing beachbreaks and pumping reefs/points will burn a ton of calories.
If you combine with a calorie reduced diet you will drop pounds really quick.
I do not know the complexities of at home glucose management for type 1 diabetics but I've had a few type 1s who are avid surfers as patients. They have told me glucose management can be most difficult due to the amount of energy burned and that they tend to have to shoot their glucose sky high pre-surf. I'll emphasize i do not know the accuracy of their claim, just what they've told me.

Curious if you turned on Water Lock or didn't turn that on in the time you answered call or replied to text? I've just used AW once and only wanted it to check messages from work (if needed) while in the water. Kind of a PITA to try to unlock the Water Lock while in the lineup.
Been trying to figure out the calorie burn for a little while now. 2 hours of medium to high wave count session at a somewhat far out reef, or 2 hours of high wave count constant paddling at a beachbreak burns how many calories? I feel like I burn a lot when I'm surfing a windy reef mostly solo and doing nonstop laps-- I usually guesstimate 4-600, but I am pretty constantly moving while I am out there. I think it's different for guys who get a few waves here and there and mostly sit out there, but I really don't know how many calories I'm burning on average
There is a swim option on the watch that was automatically triggered at one point. It showed that i burned about the same amount of calories as when i turned on the surfing option in the workout app.
It says I burned about 1,000 calories every session. That is catching about 20-30 waves and surfing for approximately 2 hours.
If you factor in paddling around the beach and paddling for waves and also the pushup to standup, and then the leg workout for pumping down the line, I think its pretty accurate.

pretty sure the watch is doing all sorts of assumptions and not just using sensor feedback depending on the workout selected.
it warns you that when signal drops per minute caloric burn rate will be the same as XXXX activity.
I bet a highly intense surf compared to bobbing with your buddies surf would show strikingly similar caloric burn rate per minute of exercise.
but as long as hunny bunny thinks I’m getting exercise, let’s all stfu and not ruin a good thing.

I personally think the calorie burn estimates are a little bit too optimistic. Let's be real, a lot of surfing is just sitting around.
I'd believe some of the measurements at pumping ob when you're spending a good amount of time paddling for your life.

I've been using it for a while now, I like it, its kinda interesting to look back at 'the effort', I don't get any Surfline bene's where I am at and I am in a wetsuit with gloves so can't look at it while surfing. Apparently I have surfed 7.9 miles (278 waves) since using the app.
I did email their support team and asked them to add "Fins" to the app since it would be nice to track the fins and the board each session.
-let see what happens.

The locking of the Apple watch has nothing to do with sealing out water so don't worry! The lock is used because when water gets on the screen, it acts a bit funky and can make phone calls etc... It also plays sounds to clear water out of the speaker area as you said.
I just got a series 6 as a gift from wifey. I would have never ever bought this thing for my myself, but now that I have it I've been geeking out on it.
Any recommendations on a band durable enough for surfing regularly? The standard band that came with it looks like it will break off during a hold-down and easily flush 600 bux down the drain

Spigen Rugged Armor
I changed my opinion on the solo loop... it's not safe enough and too stretchy... probably because I have feminine wrists, but the Spigen is very secure, and also provides scratch resistance.
C'mon, bro. Start a new thread for that... maybe in the foil forum. LOL
