Add Windsurfing/Surfing/Stand Up Paddleboarding to exercise mode

[Surfista36]

Hi, I'd just like to make a request. I'm an active windsurfer, surfer and stand up paddle boarder and annoyingly the FitBit app doesn't recognise these as sports. So after a day's surfing/windsurfing/stand up paddle boarding I can't log what I've done on the app, which is incredibly annoying as it's hard to keep track of my calorie output this way. Can you please either add these sports to the app or add a function where you can manually add your calorie output?

Thanks

Yes please can you add SUP to the list of activities - I really need this as at the present is hard to add to my activities accurately

[Wheeler_laura]

Yes - SUP is so popular - it needs to be on the list. Can't imagine it's that hard to program in.

SUP has become a very popular sport. It's time for Fitbit to include it into the exercise menu.

Thank you!

I hope that the new ionic will have at least an SUP activity log option!

Hi @Surfista36 and commenters, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We’re excited to let you know that this Feature Suggestion has been developed by a third party developer, and can be downloaded from the Fitbit App Gallery available on Fitbit Smartwatches. You’ll find it by selecting your connected Smartwatch (such as Fitbit Ionic) in the Fitbit app, then choosing the ‘Apps’ tile and toggling to ‘All Apps’ at the top of the screen. You can then explore third party apps by category and choose your favorite of the relevant options available. Happy exploring!

Please note that if you have feedback or a suggestion for the third party app, you can contact the developer directly. Open their app in the Fitbit App Gallery and you’ll find their contact details under ‘app details’ or ‘clock face details’.

Don't forget you can always manually add activities like surfing that aren't automatically tracked to get an accurate calorie count.

Which app offers the paddle boarding feature and and is it available for the flex 2??

I’m not understanding these instructions. Where do you find the app gallery? Does this mean there is still nothing for Flex 2 users? You have to have a watch or something?

[ChristineNoel]

I think its just for watch wearers although i have the ionic and I've looked at the apps and I don't know what they are talking about. Salty Dog i guess?

Is the activity available for the flex2 ???

[KayJayEss]

Please add stand up paddling to the list of exercise types. Thanks!

I can’t believe SUP is not a recognised exercise on the Fitbit. SUP is said to be the fastest growing water sport - Fitbit is not really keeping up........

[SantiR]

Sorry for the confusion, this is still not available on third party apps. However, it is a nice suggestion, I think this would be very useful for a lot of users who practices these awesome water sports. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

[Nairodk]

Fitbit, such a dated thread and yet still no progress. We are all patiently waiting.... but for how long b4 customers start to choose a competitor?

[Joker276]

Hi to everyone, to add sup aß an excercise would be really fantastic  We are a Group of six people who using the sup regularly. Also we see a lot of other people doing standup paddling in germany. I like my ionic and its the perfect partner for water sports ,so why Not adding some more water sports 🙂 May IT helps fitbit to find New customers and keep existing ones 🙂 have a good Day. 

[Lelly001]

A SUP  app would be fantastic. Please please

[Jasonwes]

The current ads for the versa feature paddleboarding, but there is not an exercise category for it? Is this false advertising? Looking at the previous comments, people have been asking for this for a long time, and many will have thought it was finally here from the ads - I know I did. 

Adding manually is not what I am after, I want to track my route, have an accurate distance,  heart rate and calorie count.

[SunsetRunner]

That's a short one  I'd love to see support for SUP Training as well

3 years and we haven't yet SUP support
