Allsesh is building Yogi, a beach-side camera tracking system designed to keep surfers in frame — so you can focus on surfing while your session gets captured.
You paddle out, catch a good one, maybe even land your best turn of the month. Then you look back at the beach and realise no one recorded it. Or worse, someone did — but the camera was pointed at the wrong part of the ocean.
Wide-angle tripod shots are great for scenery. Not so great when you're a three-pixel silhouette on a two-metre wave.
They went for a swim, they're hungry, they're checking their phone. You can't blame them. Filming two hours of ocean is boring.
When there are twenty people in the water, picking and following the right one is a full-time job. A human one.
Pro videographers are expensive and booked. Great for competitions. Not practical for a Thursday dawn patrol at your local break.
Yogi is a camera tracking system in development for surfers who are tired of missing footage from their best sessions.
Position Yogi on the beach facing the break. Takes minutes.
Grab your board and forget about the camera. Yogi handles it.
Yogi follows you through the session, adjusting as you move across the break.
Come back to shore and find your session captured.
Different surf sessions need different levels of control. Yogi is being designed around two tracking setups, without forcing every surfer into the same workflow.
Built for surfers who want the system to follow them specifically — especially when the lineup gets busy.
A simpler beach-only setup designed to follow the surfer visible in the frame.
Friends are great. Camera operators are rare.

Based on early prototype testing. Real-world field testing is still in progress.
Allsesh started from a simple frustration: good waves are hard to film unless someone sacrifices their own beach time to stand behind a camera.
The founder is a surfer and former competitive sailor who loves big waves, barrels, Nazaré and Nicaragua. The technical side is supported by a builder with experience in high-reliability engineering environments, including work connected to the Polish nuclear energy sector.
Built around the moments surfers actually care about: the wave you almost made, the turn you want to study, and the session you wish someone had filmed.
Yogi is currently in prototype development. We are testing tracking performance, camera movement, beach setups and real surf conditions before opening early access.
First controlled tests of the tracking system against real moving targets.
Developing and refining the logic for smooth camera panning and following.
Taking the system outside. Mounting, stability, sun, wind, tripod setups.
First live sessions with actual surfers. Where it either works or doesn't.
If you're on the list, you'll hear about it first.
Limited hardware in the hands of real surfers. Feedback loop starts here.
Join the early list and help shape the first version of Yogi.
