Surfski as a Sport

[seanamorley]

Please consider adding Surfski as a Sport type. Surfski (one word) is very specific type of sit-on-top kayak designed for racing or fitness paddling on open water. There is a worldwide competitive circuit and a designated world championships (https://www.canoeicf.com/canoe-ocean-racing-world-championships/madeira-2024). Having Surfski listed as a sport will help surfski athletes build worldwide community on Strava. A lot of us train on our own and use Strava to record our training and activity. There are many routes, both downwind runs and circuits that we regularly paddle individually and having Surfski as a sport type will help us to compare, compete and share through the Strava app.

Would love to see classic and skate skiing separated in the future.

Hello and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to add your votes and comments to this request. 

We want to let you know that we do not intend to add more activity/sport types to Strava in the foreseeable future, and this feature suggestion will be moved to a status of not currently planned.

We appreciate and understand this is not the answer you were hoping for. We strive to be as transparent as possible and provide updates to our Community when they become available. 

Please remember that we receive a large number of idea submissions, and even some  popular ideas may not make it to the implementation stage. The number of votes an idea gets is one factor among several that’s considered when our product team develops the roadmap.

For more information, review our Guide to Ideas.

Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.

Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.

Thanks again for your contributions.
