What BbTalkin setup should I use for coaching?

Use Standard + Standard for 1:1 lessons. For groups, add one Master 3.0 to control up to three Standard units (3–4 people total in live conversation).

What range can I expect during lessons?

Up to 1000 m in ideal two-person conditions with clear line of sight and elevated antennas. Range decreases when more users are connected or riders are low in the water.

Is BbTalkin waterproof for surf and spray?

Yes. Intercoms are IPX7 waterproof when correctly sealed in the screw-valve case. Rinse with fresh water and dry fully after use.

Can I record lesson audio with a GoPro?

Yes. The Standard 3.0 pairs with GoPro HERO 12 to record live conversation audio. Disable QuickCapture and pair as a Bluetooth audio device.

Which headsets are best for coaches and students?

Coaches commonly use Hat/Cap or Sports head strap headsets with boom mics. Students typically use helmet pad headsets (mono or stereo), including GATH-compatible options.

Setups That Work for Lessons

1:1 Private Lesson (Standard + Standard)

Perfect for first sessions or advanced drills. Clean, quiet audio with simple connect/disconnect using the Intercall button.

Small Group Coaching (Master + 2 or 3 Standards)

The Master 3.0 leads up to three Standards so everyone hears the coach and each other. Use CH1/CH3 for the first two students and CH2 for the third.

Placement for Best Range

Mount intercoms as high as possible (helmet, hat, or headband).
Keep antennas upright and above the waterline.
Expect shorter range when riders are low in the water or there are more users connected.

What Coaches Love Day-to-Day

Mute control for quick classroom management between sets.
Smartphone pairing (Standard 3.0) for calls/music when off-session.
GoPro HERO 12 pairing (Standard 3.0) to record live lesson audio for review.
Fast resets before group swaps; channels reconnect with a single tap.

Recommended Headsets
