“It felt like I jumped off a cliff… I hit the face and it was just a brutal beating, like I was in a car crash.” But how do you measure a wave’s height? Samsung Brazil has developed a prototype ‘smart surfboard’ that not only calculates the height and frequency of the waves, but also has an LED panel so surfers can read messages from their fans on Twitter.

HOW FAR CAN A SURFER FALL?
If a surfer rides a wave too slowly and it breaks while they’re on the peak, or if the wave’s simply too steep, they could be heading for a huge wipeout. Tom Dosland survived one such encounter when he plummeted from a 12-metre wall of water at Waimea Bay in Hawaii. Falling headfi rst at 50km/h, Dosland was immediately swallowed by the swirling gulf of water. It was a miracle he lived to surf another day as his board was completely wrecked. Tumble from such a giddy height and the water can be as hard as concrete. “I was freefalling for a while,” he recalls.
