Smartfin Allows Scientific Data Collection While Surfing

"The Smartfin is a surfboard fin with sensors that measure multiple ocean parameters including salinity, pH, temperature, location, and wave characteristics. The data surfers acquire while in the water will become accessible in near real-time and made accessible to the world-wide scientific community." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's description of the Smartfin project.
