Adding some tech to the sport

Wind is up but will I rig a 7 or a 9m2? Want to share the wind speed with friends to speed up to the beach? Didn't your mates believe that you could plane in marginal conditions? Just measure the wind and share it. How? Shaka has the tool for you. A windmeter gadget for you iPhone. Check it out from http://shakaon.net/.







Want to now how it went on the waves? Well that is now possible with this surfboard with some new features in it. Just imagine what kind of data we could get out from kiteboarding session.

Surfing is still a sport governed by feelings. The driving forces behind this joint project, PUKAS and TECNALIA, aim to “turn feelings into facts and figures” and provide as yet unquantified data that can be directly applied to improve the features of surfboards, the technical performance of surfers and/or measurement of parameters during competition.
