University of California, San Diego mechanical engineering undergraduates outfitted a surfboard with a computer and accompanying sensors -- one step toward structural engineering Ph.D. student Benjamin Thompson's quest to develop the science of surfboards.
The UC San Diego mechanical engineering undergraduates installed a computer and sensors on a surfboard and recorded the speed of the water flowing beneath the board. While the students surfed, the onboard computer sent water velocity information to a laptop on shore in real time.

If students doing experiments with a surfing board, that I undestand why we have a lot of problems with anything else, and nothing solved.
