About Surf Sessions
Surf Session makes it really easy to track your surfing. Just setup surf spots with a parking location, enable auto-record, and every time you finish surfing your phone will automatically download some buoy data (waves, wind, and tide) and notify you to record it. You can even rate your session right from the notification.
You can also integrate your surfing into an overall fitness plan. This app will estimate the calories you burned while surfing and then share your surfing workouts with the Health App.
All of your data is stored on your phone and backed up in your private iCloud space. The developer cannot see your location or data. You secret spots will remain secret.
Please provide feedback. I will do my best to fix bugs and improve this app.

TLDR Version - Fixed Buoy Download and it is a lot faster.
NOAA discontinued the service I was using to download the buoy data. I updated the app to use a different service for the wave data. The new source is a lot faster, but I needed to do more processing in the app.

Try out the new widget. You can select a default spot from the settings in the app. Then, you can add a widget to your home screen that shows up-to-date buoy, wind, and tide data.
The widget should refresh every 2 hours during the day, and every 4 hours at night.
The app will also load the default spot when you first launch the app.

Made the auto recording use your location a lot less.
Details:
There is a limit on the number of locations I can track to see if you entered or exited. Before, every time you changed cell towers, I searched for the 20 closest locations you wanted auto recorded, and tracked those locations. This would give you almost unlimited locations. However, it also required a lot of location updates to come into the app.
I decided that most people will not want to track more than 20 locations. So now, I only get location updates when you enter or exit a parking location. It should save battery power, and not make it look like the app is tracking everywhere you went.
