This is technically very cool, but (as someone who surfs himself)for the purposes of surfing it strikes me as pretty useless. If you spend enough time surfing you learn how to read the water in a way that will tell you much more than this device ever will.
- berkes 5y agoBut in general you can only learn by getting confirmation or rejection. I mean, it is nice to learn how to see a sandbank by the way waves break. But you only know that the waves break that way on a bank, if there is confirmation of that bank. On many surfspots, this knowldge is often handed down: maybe a diver checked the rocks below, maybe someone saw it during clear water etc. So anything that confirms 'yes, you are right, waves are breaking there, because there ís a bank at X' is, IMO useful.
