If you’re into Joe Schmo sports like running and cycling, there are plenty of activity trackers that want to measure the distance you’ve traveled, steps taken or calories burned. But if you want to monitor how high your snowboard hovered above the halfpipe or how fast your surfboard traveled across the wave, you’re pretty much out of luck.
ActiveReplay, a Los Angeles startup founded by a father and son team that includes the former CTO of navigation company Magellan, wants to change all that. For the past couple of years, the company has been courting skiers with a smartphone app that lets them track their average speed, number of runs, calories burned and other data. But on Wednesday, the startup is launching its first tracking device, called Trace, with a campaign on Kickstarter.
