Here's an interesting article about environmental sensors integrated into surfboard fins. We cover far more area per session than surfers, so we could potentially collect a lot more data--maybe we could get funded by NSF to go kitesurfing!

cool concept, and can probably be rigged with other sensors down the road. |

Does this now mean we can suck on the government's tit for financing our fin supply?
I would love to have Uncle Sam as one of my sponsors for kiting.
