Smartfin is a surfboard fin with built-in sensors that provides nearshore data to scientists and connects surfers more deeply to the ocean. Smartfin is a surfboard fin with sensors that measures multiple ocean properties including temperature, pH, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The data will be viewable to the Smartfin community. Smartfin will not only serve the worldwide scientific community with valuable ocean data but will also raise environmental awareness about our oceans in general. Since 2015, Smartfin has been in collaboration with researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, one of the world’s leading institutions for Oceanographic research, to validate the scientific application of Smartfin in the surf zone.
