Surfing to the Olympics The summer Olympics are underway in Rio with some amazing events in the pool. Who can watch the high dive and not be amazed at the precision with which they throw themselves to the water!? It is certainly an inspiration to many of us to keep pushing forward into being a balanced and fit person for our endeavors. In the exciting news this week, SURFING will be in the 2020 Olympics in Japan (article below). I can't wait to see how they structure the competition. One of the new wave parks for perfect repeatable waves? Other big news is that Scotland is continuing to move forward with a massive Tidal Power project (below). Renewable energy from the ocean is a unicorn that we all want to see the world catch! Here in Santa Cruz we are working on new designs of the WaveClock.  We've teamed up with Bryan at Wet Feet Photography to transfer some fantastic photography to the WaveClocks.  They're looking great and will be up on our ETSY store soon.  Stay tuned and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest info. We'll let you know here first!

The Olympic committee will be evaluating skateboarding as well for inclusion. For better or worse, surfing is officially worldwide mainstream. The WaveClock is your gateway to the ocean. The WaveClock queries real-time oceanographic databases to find the wave and tide at your spot. The hardware is linked to a free app and programs to your WiFi to give you an accurate view what’s happening out there.  See the Latest!
