SmartSurf sells the first vertical.
SmartSurf uses Senlay to combine phone GPS, waterproof trackers, live environmental data, and local spot logic for rider, board, and school safety.
Outdoor recreation first. Indie builders welcome.
Spot-level verification for outdoor AI apps.
Senlay cross-checks weather models, live sensors, marine data, METAR, GPS/device telemetry, terrain, and local sport logic so outdoor apps can reason from verified local context instead of generic forecasts.
Why this exists
Weather giants sell enterprise resilience. Senlay starts where they do not.
Senlay is not trying to outspend satellite-first enterprise platforms. It focuses on the long tail: water-sports, outdoor recreation, hobby drones, coaches, indie developers, and small teams that need local interpretation with a genuine free entry point.
Indie builders need low-friction tools.
A real free tier and simple API matter when a solo developer, hackathon team, coach, or outdoor app wants to test local physical-world reasoning.
Local physics beat generic forecast cards.
Launch geometry, reef exposure, tide phase, gust spread, drift direction, terrain shadow, and rider behavior decide whether a situation is safe.
First commercial proof
SmartSurf is the water-sports product powered by Senlay.
SmartSurf is an AI-assisted safety system for riders, boards, and schools. It can start with phone GPS, expand to waterproof GPS/SOS trackers, and use Senlay to verify what the local situation means.
Phone-first MVP
Start with rider GPS, session history, emergency contacts, spot selection, and local risk context.
Tracker as pro hardware
Add waterproof board/rider GPS when a school, downwind route, or serious rider needs a second signal.
School dashboard
Monitor students, boards, alerts, and safety history from one operational view.
Future data moat
SmartSurf telemetry can become proprietary labels for false-alert reduction and sport-specific risk patterns.
Spot Intelligence
The product is exact local context, not another weather widget.
Without a tracker, users choose a sport and spot. With a tracker, Senlay adds live movement, stop duration, drift, distance from shore, board separation, and SOS state.
Data strategy
Open aggregation, transparent provenance, local interpretation.
Senlay can verify and interpret data from many providers and public sources. It does not replace weather providers; it checks them against live observations, terrain, marine context, and device telemetry for specific outdoor decisions.
Marine and tide
Buoys, tide stations, currents, wave period, swell direction, and shore exposure.
Terrain and bottom
Reefs, rocks, depth contours, bottom shape, launch geometry, wind shadow, and rip channels.
Live sensors
METAR, stations, wind meters, public networks, school sensors, and tracker telemetry.
Sport rules
Kite, surf, SUP, foil, wing, sailing, windsurfing, downwind, and school operations.
