Face recognition
Your face is the fastest way to your clips.
Register once and Surfgraphix scans new and previous sessions for you, then delivers the clips you're riding in. Here's exactly how it works, and how we keep it private.

You are notified
01
Register your face, once
Record a short 12-second guided video, turning your head left and right, we keep the sharpest angles automatically. You can also add photos of yourself surfing, which is where a face is smallest and hardest to read, so every one you add lifts your chances of a match.
02
We scan every new session
When a filmer uploads at your beaches, each clip is scanned against your face, across multiple frames. You can also run a scan over the sessions already on Surfgraphix, so clips of you from before you signed up turn up too.
03
Every match is double-checked
A first pass finds likely matches, a second layer of AI vision confirms it's you, and Surfgraphix reviews every match before it's sent, so a wrong clip never reaches you.
04
You get told
Once confirmed, you get one email and a dashboard notification with all the clips we found you in. Open, preview, and buy the ones you want.
Find me in past sessions
Don't wait for the next session, run a scan across everything already on Surfgraphix and we'll surface the older clips you're riding in too. It runs on our servers and lands in your dashboard when it's done.
Two ways to register
A quick video, a few photos, or both
The guided video is the most accurate, it captures your face from several angles the way it actually appears in the water. Photos add even more angles on top. The clearer the angles we hold, the more of your clips we find.
Best photos: you surfing with your face visible, one going left, one right, and a clear shot at the camera. No surf photos? Any clear-face photos work too.

Your privacy
Built to find you, and only you
Stored privately
Your reference photos live in private storage, never shown publicly or to filmers.
Never used on strangers
Your face template is only ever used to find you in surf footage, nothing else.
Delete it anytime
Remove your face data from your profile whenever you like, and it's gone from matching.
