Scouting & Game Plans

For competitive coaching, Surflink includes opponent scouting, pre-heat game plans, event prep, and qualification tracking. These tools live on contest athletes' profiles and related pages.

Several of these are gated by feature modules (e.g. opponents, game_plans, qualifications). If you don't see them, an org admin can enable the module -- see Organizations & Modules.

Opponent scouting

Track competitors with strengths/weaknesses profiles, head-to-head records, priority strategy notes, and heat matchup history. Opponents are managed via opponent cards and surfaced on contest athletes' competition tabs.

Pre-heat game plans

Build a heat strategy with:

• Opponent assignment
• Priority tactics
• A target wave count and score targets
• Key maneuvers
• Mental cues

Event prep

Prepare for a circuit event with board selection from the athlete's quiver, strategy notes, a conditions forecast, mental prep, a warmup plan, and a travel checklist.

Qualification pathways

Define qualification targets (rank or points thresholds) and Surflink computes live progress with status badges -- On Track / Bubble / At Risk / Qualified -- plus scenario simulation.

Compare athletes

Use Compare Athletes (/compare/athletes) to put any two athletes (roster or WSL) side by side: head-to-head metrics, a performance radar overlay, career stats tables, and event results.
