Rip Curl is one of the biggest names in surf apparel, with a 45-year history of designing innovative products “for surfers, by surfers”. Their latest creation, the SearchGPS watch, allows surfers to capture and store data from each surf session, to track their performance over time, and to compare stats with friends and professional surfers around the world via a fully-integrated social network.

In this video, Shane Helm, Global Chairman of Rip Curl’s Watches and Equipment Division tells about how surfers can quantify their surfing experiences with the SearchGPS watch and see how many waves they’re catching per session, or per month, if they’re going as fast as Mick Fanning, or if they’re going as fast as their friends. Blake Kus, Technical Lead for VML and one of the main developers of the technology behind the SearchGPS watch explains why Rackspace was selected as a hosting provider and a partner to manage the formidable backend data requirements, deploying Rackspace Managed Cloud, ObjectRocket managed MongoDB service, Cloud Files and load-balancers.
