🌊 What's New in the Rip Curl Search GPS 3?
The Search GPS 3 is Rip Curl’s most advanced surf watch yet, with a complete design overhaul and smarter performance tracking than ever before:
🛰️ Multi-Constellation GPS
Now using GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellites, the Search GPS 3 connects quicker and tracks more accurately — even at remote surf spots.
🔆 Full-Colour High-Contrast Display
The new colour screen is sharp, sunlight-readable, and easy to use mid-session.
🌊 Advanced Wave Detection
Improved sensors log your wave count, take-off point, ride length, top speed, and number of turns with pinpoint accuracy.
🔋 Extended Battery Life
With up to 10 hours in full GPS mode, the GPS 3 easily lasts multiple long sessions or full-day beach missions.
🌀 Next-Gen Syncing
Bluetooth upgrades mean faster, more reliable syncing with the Rip Curl Search App on iOS and Android.
