Mommy knows best!

A Dick Tracy wrist radio is a good tool for any kit!
Beasho.... I think I duplicated your 470 yard ride from way outside the Point yesterday.... ended up past the deck. Biggest I've surfed there in years.  :)

I saw the post that you were at the Point yesterday.  The buoys looked pretty sizeable, meaning, that all the tough guys might have been fixing their fins and talking about better waves elsewhere . . . . 

Yes - My ride was on a 6 to 7 foot day.  Foil Only.  No way to connect all the way through on a regular surf board.  BUT when massive I imagine you can ride from Point to the Deck.  AWESOME!

I bought an iWatch6 after watching about the first twenty minutes of the launch. Got the aluminum one with the loop band--love the band. No, they aren't cheap, but the tech is outstanding. One lead EKG, pulse rate, and blood oxygen all on your wrist, phone, gps, compass, and all the apps. Quite outstanding. My phone has suddenly become a seconday device. If it wasn't also my wallet I'd just leave it at home.

I had an iWatch 4, I liked it but it disappeared last winter in Maui. No idea where it is. Find my watch didn't work. The iWatch 6 makes the 4 seem like primitive tech.

I’m seriously looking at the iWatch 6. Think it might be a Christmas present for myself. I’m curious as to which “loop band” you ended up with? I count I think 4 different loop bands. I am considering the “sport loop”. Is this the one you are referring to?

Mine is just a plain loop, no buckle, no magnets--called the solo loop. Just stretchy. The only way it's coming off is if it breaks, which doesn't seem likely.

Thanks. I looked at that one (online) and wondered if it would be a pain slipping your hand through the loop every time you take the watch off and put it on. Sounds like it’s not an issue though. Thanks again.

Surfline recommends the UAG strap for security. There’s also one that covers the face for protection.

Anything but that new single piece, no buckle band, and you need one of these loops to stop it from blowing off your wrist in a big crash.

So many surfers lost Apple Watches to the original band. I’m using the UAG, but it still requires the loop below to make sure it doesn’t blow off.

My only concern with the new Apple Watch band, is how often to we have to replace it. My silicone wedding rings fly off in about a year when the silicone has stretched too much.

By "wallet" I mean contains all the bullshits card I currently have to carry--license, global entry card, insurance cards, etc.. And a credit card and cash for anywhere that doesn't do electronic transfers. Someday those will all be bits in the cloud, but for now my phone case is my wallet.

As I am raving about DAWN PATROL the app has just LOCKED up on my iPhone.

Does anyone know if you can downgrade to an older version. 

I upgraded to version 3.2.2 and the Launch Screen just hangs.  Never gets back to the app.

I am now worried I may lose data or sessions.  Therefore do NOT want to unistall and re-install for example.

Any help?

Don’t do anything. Dawn patrol has been emailing everyone saying they know about all the issues with this update and are working hard to fix it.

O.K., after all the talk here, and truth be told I've been thinking about it for a while now, I just ordered the Apple Watch 6. Now I have to wait almost a month to get it! Oh well, they say good things are worth waiting for.
