• Wireless Data Transfer  – Transfer data via LiNK to your PC for review.  Export data as a CSV file to Excel for more detailed analysis and charting options. Or export data as a FIT file to enable transfer to most third-party training websites, such as Endomondo, Strava and Training Peaks. Map your paddling course, share your results with friends or coaches via Facebook and Twitter, even challenge your fellow paddlers to a battle to improve on your results.
• Heart Rate Belt Compatible – Compatible with any Bluetooth® Smart (Also called Bluetooth 4.0 or BLE) heart rate belt. SUP-specific calorie equation incorporates heart rate feature to provide the most accurate energy expenditure calculation for intense paddlers. 
  

• Real-Time Measurements –Speed, Stroke Rate, Glide, Distance Per Stroke, Heart Rate, Calories Burned – Get all the real-time measurements you need to improve you paddling and reach your racing or fitness goals. 

• SUP-Specific Calories Burned –  View Total Calories Burned and Calorie Burn per Hour based on NK’s proprietary SUP-specific calorie equation. Take your training further by tracking energy expenditure in the form of calories. Enter your base metrics of height, weight and age, and the SpeedCoach SUP uses your raw data and a propriety algorithm for calculation of submaximal oxygen consumption (VO₂) to determine energy expenditure.
  

• Enhanced ON-Unit Data Recall – Easy-to-view screens with interval summaries and 25 hours of memory.

NK SUP-Specific Calorie Equation

SpeedCoach SUP 2 is the only product on the market with a SUP specific calorie equation. The experts at NK have partnered with researchers from the University of Montana to bring SUP paddlers a SUP-specific equation that takes into account three distinct SUP profiles, based on different levels of paddling technique, and energy expenditure, based on oxygen consumption.

NK, along with the research staff at the University of Montana performed testing and research to come up with a metabolic equation for stand up paddle board activity. We collected metrics including heart rate, metabolic cost, and oxygen consumption to build an equation that will allow recreational paddlers, advanced paddlers, and racers evaluate the energy demands of their training sessions or events.

On the SpeedCoach SUP 2 you can view Total Calories Burned and Calorie Burn per Hour. You can take your training further by tracking energy expenditure in the form of calories. Enter your base metrics of height, weight and age, and the SpeedCoach SUP uses your raw data and a propriety algorithm for calculation of submaximal oxygen consumption (VO2) to determine energy expenditure.
