How do you measure mechanical flex in surfboards? What is fingerprinting surfboards?

With @SurfEngineers we are connecting surfing, engineering and ocean by developing R&D tools for the surfing industry.

Can we measure what surfers feel?

Yes - see our paper in @SciReports

Alfonso is a surfer and a talented engineer.

He helped designing our fin testing rigs & our shaping machine.

He is currently taking a break from the lab and surfing his way around 🇦🇺 🇮🇩

We miss him and are hoping that he will be back soon!
