Introduction
The ”DEEP X System” (patent pending) is Quiksilver’s most advanced tide watch. It features a tide data library for up to
2000 surf spots around the world (Deep model), the most accurate tide information available and also includes a numeric value for
tide height. The tide information contained in your DVD (and then in yout watch) was calculated by a professional oceanographer
based on the exact latitude/longitude of the coastline shape, islands and coast retraction.
Your DeepX tide watch was developed with the help of our Quiksilver team riders around the world and passed all our tests in
the heaviest waves on the planet. DeepX is more accurate than most tide charts for individual locations because our tide information
was calculated specifically for every surf spot, instead of using the tide information of the closest harbour like most tide charts do.
The DEEP X system has been developed to produce consistent tide data globally. In addition, data for the DEEP X has been
calculated for each specific surf spot to render the most accurate tide predictions possible. Please consider that tide predictions are
based on specific harmonics and unpredictable conditions do affect the tides.
This data is not to be used for navigation.
Wear your new DeepX tide watch by Quiksilver and enjoy being at the right place at the right tide. Happy surfing!
