Surfline's cams also record the footage and make it available to Premium members for access & download

We store daytime cam footage for up to 5 days, which is all accessible from the website & app. After that, the footage is gone!

The following are instructions to use Rewind on web first, and then the app below.

Website

Every cam player on Surfline has a Rewind symbol sitting next to the fullscreen button up in the top right corner of the cam player.

Click the Rewind symbol to be taken to the Rewind page for the spot. From the Rewind page, you can still change the cam angle using the Change Angle button.

#1 | Select the day using the picklist. Rewind only goes back 5 days, including today!

#2 | Select the 10-minute clip that includes the footage you're looking for.

E.g. If you caught a special wave at 15:39, your wave would be at the 3-minute mark of a 15:36 video.

#3 | Use the cam player controls to find the wave in the 10-minute clip

Pro tip: use the settings cog to change playback speed if you aren't sure exactly when you caught the wave. Set it to 2x (fast-forward) and theoretically half the time it takes!

#4 | Download the clip

As the download bar suggests, you need to right click it and then save the clip file.

If you left-click the download bar, the file will open in a new tab.

Clips are stored on a different website, camrewinds.cdn-surfline.com, so don't be concerned about any warning messages your internet browser might throw up!

App

Tap the cam player so the buttons show, and hit the Rewind symbol from any cam in the app.

#1 | Select the day using the picklist.

The AM button will bring you to straight to 9 am, or the PM button will bring you straight to 3 pm.

#2 | Select the 10-minute clip that includes the footage you're looking for.

#3 | Use the cam player controls to change the cam angle, download the clip or cast the file to another device (AirPlay).
