Advanced gestures
Line-crossing alert
Updated 11 October 2026 · Guide v2026.10.11
In gesture mode, when the stroke crosses the pad’s reference line going up, the device alerts you; when it crosses back down, it alerts you differently. That way you know without looking that you are logging an aerial and its landing.
Example animation: the gesture is in development and may look different in the app.
What it is for
To draw without looking at the screen. It works in any deck with a reference line: the lip of the wave in surfing, the kicker in snowboarding or the line between kite and rider in kitesurfing.
How to turn it on
In Settings → Set up buttons, under “Advanced gestures”, turn on “Line-crossing alert”. It works in gesture mode (Draw).
What it looks like
The line flashes when crossed: one colour going up and another coming down.
How to cancel
It is only an alert: it does not log or change anything. To stop getting it, turn the switch off.
Devices
On Android, the device vibrates. On iPhone and iPad, Safari lets no website vibrate, not even the installed app: there a short click sounds instead, audible with headphones.
