Your WingFoil session, measured.
Install, then ride
Three apps, all free. The watch app records on a Garmin. The iPhone app reads every turn of your session. The browser app does the same on any computer or phone, with nothing to install.
Install the one that fits your kit, then ride one ordinary session. Not sure your watch is in? Which watch lists every Garmin by name.
Three apps, one for the watch, one for the iPhone and one in the browser. The two that install are open betas, with no invite, no code and nobody to wait on.
CleanJibe Wingfoil Tracker (Beta) on apps.garmin.com. Install it from the web store, or from Connect IQ on the phone.
Then open CleanJibe on the watch and start. It records as a Windsurf activity. The watch works the wind direction out after a few minutes of flying.
42 watches at 0.9.21. The list names every one, and says what to do if yours is not on it.
testflight.apple.com/join/nygqGGcn, opened on the iPhone itself. No address to submit and no invite mail to wait for.
You need Apple’s TestFlight app if you do not have it. The link installs CleanJibe through it. TestFlight builds expire, so it asks you to update now and then.
Open the example session first. The app ships with a real one in it. See the whole thing before you import anything of your own.
beta The beta iPhone app brings the CleanJibe Apple Watch app with it. Install it from the iPhone’s Watch app. It records on the wrist and hands the session over.
cleanjibe.org/app, in any browser on a computer or a phone. Nothing to install and no account.
Drop a .fit, .gpx or .tcx into it, or paste
your intervals.icu key into its Settings. It reads every turn the way the iPhone
app does.
Your file is read in the tab. Nothing is uploaded.
Each app works on its own. The iPhone app does not need the watch app, and the browser app needs neither.
Ride one session as you always do, then open it in CleanJibe. Every turn gets a verdict: flew through, touchdown, or fell in. We ride too, so tell us where it read one of yours wrong.
Take the way in that matches your wrist. Go outside, because every one of them needs GPS and a watch indoors records no positions. They all end the same way. Your session lands in CleanJibe, analysed as it arrives.
beta in the public beta today, not yet in the App Store release.
In the browser app. Paste your intervals.icu key into its Settings. Your Garmin sessions arrive there too, on any computer or phone.
Record with Garmin’s Windsurf profile, or SUP, Kitesurf or Surfing. CleanJibe takes every watersport session, and anything named wing or foil.
Make a free account at intervals.icu and connect Garmin there. Copy your personal API key into Settings → intervals.icu. It takes about 5 minutes.
CleanJibe brings in your last two years of sessions and analyses each one as it lands. After a ride, pull down on Sessions and the new one is on top.
CleanJibe Wingfoil Tracker (Beta) on Connect IQ buzzes each verdict on your wrist. It counts pump strokes and takeoff attempts, and shows your dry streak.
Press START, pick CleanJibe, wait for GPS good and press START again. To finish, press START to pause, then BACK and Save.
Garmin Connect’s phone app cannot export. On a computer, connect.garmin.com → the activity → gear icon → Export File. AirDrop it to the iPhone, then Import → FIT or ZIP….
Garmin has no wingfoil profile, so Garmin and Strava call the session Windsurf. With the watch app, Garmin Connect also shows foil time and flights. Strava does not.
You get measured speed and the wrist
In the browser app. This way in needs the iPhone app. A browser cannot reach your watch.
It comes with the CleanJibe beta. On the iPhone open Apple’s Watch app, scroll to Available apps, and install CleanJibe if it is missing.
Open CleanJibe on the watch, allow Health and Location if it asks, wait until NO GPS clears, press START. Then Stop, and Done.
Open CleanJibe on the iPhone. The session comes across on its own while phone and watch are together. Give it a minute.
Speed comes off the watch’s own receiver, so the records are measured. The 50 Hz wrist gives pump strokes and takeoff attempts.
In the browser app. This way in needs the iPhone app. Apple Health is closed to a browser.
On the watch open Workout and pick Surfing. Water Sports works too. Apple Health has no wingfoil activity, so pick the closest one.
End it on the watch and let it save. The route is written to Health when the workout finishes, which can take a minute.
Import → Apple Health. Allow CleanJibe to read workouts and routes. Switch every one on, or there is nothing to read. Then pick yours.
Switch on Import new Health workouts automatically and the next session is waiting when you open the app.
Speed comes off the watch’s own receiver, so the records are measured. Nothing records your wrist, so there are no pump strokes or takeoff attempts.
In the browser app. Drop the .fit into it, on a computer or any phone. The file never leaves the tab.
Any outdoor activity with GPS, recorded the way you always do. There is nothing of ours to install on these watches.
Suunto: Calendar → the workout → ⋯ → FIT. COROS: Activities → the activity → ⋯ → Export → FIT. Polar exports from flow.polar.com only.
A FIT carries the speed your watch measured. A .gpx does not. A .tcx carries it only when the app wrote it in.
Open in CleanJibe from the iOS share sheet, or Import → FIT or ZIP…. Foil time, flights, turns and the map are identical either way.
Most of these watches sync to intervals.icu too. CleanJibe picks them up from there, through the same 4 steps as the Garmin route.
Strava lets a new app connect a limited number of riders. If connecting is refused, export the original on strava.com from a computer and import that file.
In the browser app. Strava sign-in needs the iPhone app. Export Original on strava.com gives you a file the browser app opens.
Settings → Strava → Connect with Strava. Strava’s own consent page opens. Leave the private-activities box ticked, or your “Only you” sessions stay hidden.
Import → Import from Strava… lists your matching activities of the last two years. Tap the ones you want, or Import all new.
Once one session has come in this way a toggle appears, and CleanJibe checks Strava whenever you open the app.
Strava hands over positions rather than the speed your watch measured. These speed records are marked estimated. There are no pump strokes.
Strava lets a new app connect a limited number of riders. That is nothing to do with your account. Tell us through Menu → Support & ideas.
On a computer, open the activity on strava.com and choose ⋯ → Export Original. AirDrop it to the iPhone, then Import → FIT or ZIP….
A bike ride draws the nicest track. Anything above about 12 km/h counts as flying. Walking works too. Go outside: indoors there are no positions.
Take whichever way in above matches your watch. It answers one question: does a recording made on your watch reach CleanJibe on your phone?
A map shows your track, with duration and speeds at the top. A speed chart moves when you drag along it.
Expected on a bike or on foot: there is nothing to jibe. This checks the way in from the watch, never the analysis.
CleanJibe reads a recording, not a brand. What you get back depends on what your file carries. Each row names the way in that produces it.
| You get | You record with | In detail | Way in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everything | The CleanJibe watch app on a Garmin | Foil time, flights, every turn verdict and clean jibe, measured speed records, the wind axis. Pump strokes and takeoff attempts too. | Garmin |
| Measured speed and the wristbeta | The CleanJibe Apple Watch app | Everything a file with measured speed gets, plus pump strokes and takeoff attempts. The watch app records the wrist at 50 Hz. The phone analyses it. | Apple Watch app |
| Measured speed | Any other FIT with a measured speed channel. Garmin’s own Windsurf profile, Apple’s Workout app, or another Connect IQ app | Everything except pump strokes and takeoff attempts, which need a wrist accelerometer nothing else records. | Garmin or any .fit |
| Positions only | Positions only: Strava, a .gpx,
a .tcx without speed, a phone in a pocket |
Foil time, flights, every turn verdict and clean jibe, the wind axis. Speed records are estimated from positions and marked so, and there are no pump strokes or takeoff attempts. | Strava |
42 Garmin watches run the CleanJibe watch app, fenix 8 down to vívoactive. The list below names them by family. Watch app 0.9.21 today.
Only the fenix 8 has been ridden on real water by us. Every other family passes in the simulator and is waiting for a rider. Ride one and tell us how it went.
Two ways in, and the first one is ours. The CleanJibe watch app comes with the TestFlight install and records the wrist at 50 Hz.
Or record a Surfing workout in Apple’s own Workout app and import it from Apple Health. The speed is the watch’s own, so records are measured.
Take the FIT wherever an app offers you one. It carries the speed your watch measured. Without it, speed is estimated from positions.
Most of these watches sync to intervals.icu, and anything that reaches Strava comes in without a file at all. The steps are the any .fit and Strava cards above.
Not on the list? Ride with Garmin’s Windsurf profile. You still get every verdict. The Garmin card shows how.
| What you ride with | You get | How it gets in |
|---|---|---|
| Polar · Suunto · COROS | Measured speed with a FIT, positions only with a GPX | intervals.icu, or the iOS share sheet from the vendor’s app |
| Anything that reaches Strava | Positions only | Import → Strava |
| A phone in a pouch, any GPX | Positions only | The iOS share sheet, or the browser app |
No watch at all works. A phone in a waterproof pouch on your body
records a .gpx. You get the track, the flights, the jibes and their
verdicts, with speed estimated from positions. Help says where to
put the phone.
There is no CleanJibe app for Android and none is needed. Open the browser app and drop the file in. It keeps a library, records and trends like the iPhone app.
On a Garmin, paste your intervals.icu key into the browser app’s Settings. Garmin Connect’s phone app cannot export a file, so intervals.icu brings your sessions in.
Install it, and it joins the share sheet. In Chrome, take Add to Home screen from the menu. It may be called Install app.
After that, hold a .fit or .gpx anywhere on the phone and
choose Share → CleanJibe. The analysis opens on it, with the
file still on the phone.
Once one session has arrived, the interesting part is your back catalogue. Everything CleanJibe imports is analysed as it lands, so Records and Trends fill up by themselves.
One button, +, holds every door. Import from Health takes an
Apple Watch. Sync intervals.icu and the Garmin export ZIP
take a Garmin. The ZIP carries your whole history in one import.
Strava takes anything that reaches it. FIT, GPX, TCX or ZIP takes a Polar, a Suunto, a COROS or any file at all.
Strava hands over positions, not the speed your watch measured. Those sessions’ speed records are marked estimated. Without the watch’s own speed, a fall can read as a touchdown. Take the same afternoon off intervals.icu instead where you can.
Strava lets a new app connect a limited number of riders, and the app says so plainly. If you are told the app is full, tell us. The Strava card shows the way in through a file.
Step four ends on the app's own button, Save & check. It verifies the key and says how many activities it can see. The iPhone asks for one thing, your personal API key. The Athlete ID is the browser analyzer's.
The beta page says what to look for and where to send it.
What is coming next is on the beta page too.
The release notes, build by build, are a page of their own.
