Scientist and surfer Tyler Cyronack of Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Ca shares the magic behind the Smartfin: a Future fin loaded with sensors that record water temperature and GPS data. Tyler studies the chemistry of coral reef environments and he looks forward to fellow surfers capturing - while getting shacked - all that hyper-localized data that traditional instruments and techs could not step up to. Smartfin is still in Beta so you'll have to just listen to our show and wait to get your hands on one. https://www.surfrider.org/programs/smartfin Also on the show, Tyler, the co-host, gives his rant on why Stand Up Paddle boarders should do their thing away from the crowds.
