Samsung Galaxy Surfboard – a smart surfboard with an LED display

From now on, with the Samsung Galaxy it is not only possible to surf on the web, but also on the water. Samsung introduced the Samsung Galaxy Surfboard with an LED screen. Why? Because South Koreans consider surfing to be a solitary sport, as the surfer is cut off from the world while riding the waves. Well, nothing more. With this board, you can stay connected to the world wide web and the rest of your Samsung devices, even when you're doing mischief at sea. In the meantime, you receive messages from friends, fans or coaches in real time, and the board supplies you with the necessary information about the weather and waves.

With it, the surfer is no longer cut off from the world when riding the waves, but is in constant contact "with the coast". A board that Samsung designed together with a world surfing champion Gabriel Medina (it was made by his board maker Johnny Cabianca), but it is not only intended for communication (with a coach, friends or fans who can encourage the surfer via tweets), but also notification.

Among other things, the board supplies the surfer with useful information such as wind strength and direction, wave height and frequency; this board is delivered by a smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7, which we insert into watertight gap on the side.

Futuristic at first glance, the Samsung Galaxy Surfboard would be classified under sports equipment, and after a closer look between technological toys. Last but not least, it has a large LED screen that displays information and notifications, and "drives" it smartphone. And while Samsung thinks we should be connected to the world wide web and with the rest all the time and everywhere, for many it means sport disconnection from everything and escape from technological and informational saturation.

Judge for yourself whether Samsung kicked the dark with the innovation or not. Surfing world meanwhile, he has already made up his mind and thinks that the board is unnecessary and pointless, and has already become a target of ridicule.
