What
happenedup there?
I built APERTURA to answer that. Upload one pass and it follows your body through the whole run, measures the air and the landing, names the trick and writes notes for your next set.
The six things APERTURA measures
Airtime
Time off the water, takeoff to touchdown.
Pop height
How high the takeoff actually sends you.
Rotation
How far you turn, and whether you finish it.
Torso lean
Upper-body angle through the trick and on landing.
Knee bend
How much your knees give when you land.
Landings
How each trick comes down, pass after pass.
One pass in.
Notes for the next set out.
No sensors and no extra kit. I made it for the clips you already film, from the dock or the boat. Drop the pass in.
Six frames from one of my passes at Al Forsan, laid out the way the analysis reads them.
Upload one pass
One pass from the cable or behind the boat, filmed the way you already film. MP4 or MOV, up to 500 MB.
It tracks your body
I built it on pose tracking, so it follows your body through the run: the approach, the pop, the air and the landing.
You get notes
Measurements for the pass, the trick named, and coaching notes for your next set. Every run is saved to My runs on this device, so you can follow your progression.
Six reads,
straight off your body.
Each one comes from pose tracking on your own footage. I wanted you to see exactly what your body did. How the numbers are measured
- 01
Airtime
How long you are off the water, from the moment the board leaves the kicker or the wake to the moment it touches down.
- 02
Pop height
How high your body rises above the takeoff. It tells you how much the pop is really giving you.
- 03
Rotation
How far you turn in the air, and whether the rotation is finished before the board comes back down.
- 04
Torso lean
The angle of your upper body from vertical, through the trick and at the moment you land.
- 05
Knee bend
The angle of your knees as the board touches down, which shows how much they give when you take the landing.
- 06
Landings
How each trick comes down. Over several passes you can see which landings are getting cleaner.
It names the trick.
Once it has followed your body through the air, it reads the rotation and names the trick from fixed thresholds. If one camera can't see the rotation clearly, it says so instead of guessing. Here is what it reads on two of my passes at Al Forsan:
Front flip
Not identified
This one is a backflip, but I rotate toward the camera, so most of the turn happens out of the picture and one camera can't measure it. It marks the pass "Trick not identified" instead of guessing, and still measures the airtime. Film from the side and it can read the rotation.

I've spent years around wakeboarding, and I train at Al Forsan cable park in Abu Dhabi. With APERTURA, I'm applying computer vision to my own sport.
I built it around the question riders ask each other on the dock after a trick: what actually happened up there? Every photo and frame on this page is from my own riding.
