One connected session
Know the conditions. Keep track of your ride.
Start with SmartSurf Rider on the web. Link an Android Companion for the rider, add a Tracker for the board, and bring the conditions, people and positions around your session together.
01 / Before
Check your spot.
Save your spots, configure condition Watchdogs and review available forecasts, observations and briefings. Source timing and evidence gaps stay visible.
02 / During
Keep positions in view.
Pair rider and board devices to monitor configured separation. See the latest reported positions and their age, then reach a linked Companion phone with a message or accepted voice call.
03 / After
Look back at the session.
Replay recorded routes, export available tracks and log your experience. Keep sessions, equipment and feedback together for next time.
Built for a board or a rider
A position of its own.
The Tracker has its own GPS and cellular connection. Your phone does not need to stay beside the board.
Board & helmet mounts included. Every Tracker ships with both a board mount and a helmet/rider mount so you can assign it as a Board or Rider unit right out of the box.
Wireless charger + solar assistance included. Fully potted, portless construction with a magnetic switch, an included wireless charger, and dual-cell solar top-up.
1NCE or Hologram IoT SIM included. Choose the embedded IoT SIM profile that fits your coastline and travel plans — 1NCE 10-year prepaid (500 MB data + 250 SMS) or Hologram global multi-carrier roaming.
1NCE IoT SIM (10-Year Prepaid) Includes a prepaid 10-year allocation (500 MB data + 250 SMS) across 170+ countries and territories (2G/3G/4G/LTE-M/NB-IoT) with zero monthly SIM renewals. Check your country, island, and 4G bearer support in the Official 1NCE Country Coverage List (PDF) (note: countries marked with * such as Brazil, Türkiye, Egypt, UAE, India, and China have permanent-roaming restrictions on standard non-local SIMs).
Hologram IoT SIM (Global Multi-Carrier) Connects across 550+ cellular networks (862 carrier profiles across 219 countries and territories) with automatic multi-carrier switching to the strongest local coastal tower (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange, Telstra, Viettel & more) — see the Full Hologram Country & Carrier Coverage List (PDF). Best when you need multi-operator redundancy on shore, higher data plans, or coverage in regions outside standard 1NCE roaming (requires local cellular coverage; not satellite).
Both SIM options are factory-sealed inside the portless enclosure before potting. Live reporting requires GPS, power and local cellular coverage.
Real prototypes · real tests
Tracker development, shown as it happened.
These are original SmartSurf workshop, beach and on-water records—not renders. They follow the Tracker from early board and helmet mounts through magnetic activation, wireless charging, sealed water testing and the current third-generation hardware.
Third-generation Tracker demonstration
A close look at the latest prototype generation and its status lights alongside earlier development units.
Wireless charging
The portless prototype on its wireless charger, with the indicator light visible.
Helmet mount and SOS control
A helmet-mounted prototype and a hands-on demonstration of the physical SOS control.
Magnetic activation test · board 01
The sealed second-generation unit is switched on magnetically while installed on a student board.

Founder foil session
Viktor starts from the water and rides the foil—the real use environment behind the Tracker’s development.
Videos keep their original camera audio. Playback is manual and media stays unloaded until you choose it.

Hardware that fits the wider ride
Tracker for the board. Companion for the rider.
A dedicated Tracker reports a position. Android Companion adds the phone connection: custom messages, accepted two-way calls and compatible group voice features.
Use the setup that fits your session. Your linked devices and available conditions come together in SmartSurf Rider; schools can bring authorized lesson groups into the same workflow.
SmartSurf Board explores tracking integrated into the board itself. Dedicated Intercom prototypes explore a rider device that combines tracking and voice. These product directions are separate from the current Tracker preorder.
Cellular reporting and phone communication depend on coverage, device setup and available power. Plan your session with those limits in mind.

Viktor Kryvotsiuk started SmartSurf in Hoi An to help locate boards and riders when they disappear from sight. The hardware has developed through repeated prototype builds and testing on the water.
Today, SmartSurf is operated by SMART SURF LLC, a limited liability company registered in Montana, United States (Registration ID: C1684706, effective October 2, 2026) with field engineering in Hoi An, Vietnam. Verify on Montana Secretary of State · View Registration Certificate (PDF).
Every SmartSurf Tracker includes the sealed solar-assisted GPS unit, both a board mount and a helmet/rider mount, a wireless charger, an embedded IoT SIM from 1NCE or Hologram, and SmartSurf Tracking Platform access.
What is the difference between the 1NCE SIM card and the Hologram SIM card?
1NCE IoT SIM: Provides a prepaid 10-year allocation (500 MB data + 250 SMS) across 170+ supported countries and territories with no monthly SIM renewals — see the Official 1NCE Country Coverage List (PDF) for supported countries, bearers, and regulatory notes. Hologram IoT SIM: Provides global multi-carrier coverage across 550+ networks in 219 countries and territories (Full Hologram Coverage List PDF), automatically switching to the strongest local coastal network and supporting regions outside standard 1NCE roaming (both require local cellular tower coverage; not satellite).
Do I need a Tracker to use the app?
No. Start with a SmartSurf account and explore the app. Android phone tracking is available; a dedicated Tracker adds an independent position for a board or rider.
Is a tracking subscription required?
Tracking platform access and the stated connectivity allocation are included with hardware. Optional Intelligence Pro access is purchased separately. Connectivity top-ups may be needed if the included allocation is used up.
Does SmartSurf replace rescue equipment or services?
No. SmartSurf supports your judgement with positions and conditions information. It does not guarantee recovery or rescue, and it cannot report live without power, GPS and a connection.
Who is the legal company behind SmartSurf and how can I verify registration?
