PADDLEMATE’S SENSORS - With you on the water
Mission
We support all paddling and rowing athletes in achieving their goals, even in winning the Olympic gold medal by using our state-of-the-art technology!
Sensors
POD AND BASE
The paddle and oar-mounted sensor is built out of the BASE and the POD.
The BASE is the force detecting unit which is glued to the shaft. It stores the paddle/oar calibration and characteristics. You need a BASE for each paddle/oar but you can use the same POD.
The POD is the brain. It transmits data to your phone or TRACKER via Bluetooth. The system is designed to be portable so if you have multiple paddles/oars, you just grab the POD and snap it into the BASE on it. The POD sensor measures the pulling force, stroke rate, symmetry and shows every stroke’s force curves.
TRACKER
It also consists of two parts.
The bottom should be glued to the boat and the TRACKER itself should be placed in it so that it will be firmly attached.
It measures boat or board speed and position. Combined with the POD, it provides more complex data collecting. A Bluetooth enabled heart rate monitor can also be connected to the TRACKER. Its Live data streaming function allows coaches immediate intervention.
Attila Schulcz
Chief Executive Officer
Electronics and software development are both my hobby and my job. My wife was a national team kayaker who, as a coach now helps young athletes achieve their goals. From the technological demands she experienced, the idea of the PaddleMate was born in my head. After creating the first prototype, I redesigned my life to develop a product that could contribute to improving the performance of paddle sports around the world.
Attila Bajári
Chief Financial Officer
I have been playing sports regularly since I was a child. In recent years I have found the challenge in ultrarunning that binds me both physically and mentally.
At the PaddleMate team, I am responsible for business development and financial processes, and I try to draw ideas for ourselves from the digital solutions used in running.
David Mizser
Chief Technology Officer
Growing up by the Danube, it was inevitable that I would not do any water sports. I have been competitively kayaking for 10 years, which is a hobby that remains to this day as a part of my life.
As a mechanical engineer, I develop products not only as a professional, but also as a user.
