SSmartSurf
Smart Board prototype

The tracker belongs in the board.

This prototype puts the tracking hardware into the deck. There is no separate box to bolt on, catch a line or forget at home.

Why integrate it

Fewer exposed parts.

An integrated tracker sits flush with the board. The mount is part of the board, so the tracker stays with the equipment it is meant to find.

It also leaves the deck cleaner than a bolted-on case and makes charging and switching part of one known layout.
