TRACE Up - Wanted
« on: August 24, 2018, 09:48:52 AM »
Does anyone have a TRACE that they would be willing to sell or give away?

These are notoriously hard to find now.  I have gone through 3 of them. 

First one cracked, was replaced.  Second one (Probably refurbished) eventually battery didn't last more than 45 minutes.  3rd one (From PonoBill) is still trucking but oddly it dumps 3 minutes of data from every 10 minutes (don't ask how I figured it out).

Any way you cut it this device still delivers the most accurate surf tracking available @ 5 readings per second.  Way outperforms RipCurl and others (e.g. iPhone and iWatch applications) and I NEED THE DATA.

Any help / offers would be appreciated.

Mine melted around the USB charging Port.
THIS WAS THE SECOND CHARGE FOR ME..
Won't charge the third time.
I called and sent emails..no response.

Turns out they are a few blocks away so I'm going to stop in..

I don't expect much but I feel the need to face to face..

Guys name is David Lokshin.  He and I were friendly at the beginning.  I was/am like his biggest advocate for all the data I have gotten out of the thing on surfing. 

I think his business model has shifted.  More sports like soccer, or maybe he had to get a day job.

Until further notice TRACE was the best surf tracker made.

A bit pricey at $200 compared to getting (almost) an apple watch.  Let us know how it goes.

I agree with all of that - I also like them because they sent me on a trip to Tavarua from a contest with Trace. I loved mine, but I went through a few of them, last one stopped in the middle of a kiteboarding session in the Bahamas.

Mine stopped uploading a year ago and they sent me instructions to download the new firmware but was having issues doing it on my Mac. I would love to use it again on new equipment but need some help so maybe I'll drop in as they are nearby. I love all the data Trace captures and I haven't seen anything else that comes close.

I'll ask around Beasho and see if anyone wants to sell theirs.

TRACE Still Wanted!

My Foil Amigo Jeff Clark is now looking for a TRACE as well.  Maybe 'we' can get him one for his 62nd birthday.

Doesn't look like they will be supporting these much longer.
They are moving on to other products
Didn't offer any help with mine either...

Update.
Turns out they did help some.
The CTO suggested I put vinegar into the USB port to soak.
Couple days later it cleaned up.
Now there are some glitches.
When I am charging the green light is supposed to flash and turn solid when fully changed.
It is solid green...at 30%...a while later it is now 60%
Good news is is is charging and I can use the app to see it's % of charge.

Gonna give it a try...

Yeah, it works fine for me....maybe delete your search cache, and Google will let you go there instead to your most searched entries.  ;) ;D

This is what I still get when I click the above link....

When I posted it they said they had two left, now is showing "Currently unavailable" so it looks like that's no longer an option either.  :-[
