How to use Surfline's in-app cam player

If a surf spot has more than one camera angle they will be visible underneath the main camera player under the Angles tab:

Any spots that have a Smart Cam available, will be noted by the neon icon in the top left of the cam's thumbnail:

In full screen (landscape orientation), you can click to show other cam angles, nearby spots or your favorites. Simply swipe up the drawer at the base of the cam player to see the options.

Rewinds in the Android app

Viewing any camera in the Android app, you can access the Rewind clips by selecting the timestamp underneath the cam player:

Select the date at the top of the Rewind page that appears, and scroll down the page to select the time you would like to view the Rewind for:

Then click Select & Preview from the proceeding page:

Then trim the clip to the desired length by dragging the yellow bars on the ends of the Clip Preview timeline. Once you're happy with the length of the clip tap Save to download the clip to your device, or tap Share to send it to friends!
