There are of course a variety of ways to measure height above water like ultrasonic or radar sensors but good luck water sealing them and keeping them oriented downward in this application.
- monk_e_boy 8y agoPutting two Woos on one board gives two different height readings. So they are not perfect. They also mis-read jumps. Just wondered if there was a different way of measuring height. [edit] Boards fall off feet, then get washed around in the surf. This seems to fool the sensors quite a lot.
