これは、ときに科学者囲碁サーフィン何が起こるかです
科学をサーフィンに注入することは新しいことではありません。科学は、波動力学、うねりモデル、気象パターン、アスリートのパフォーマンス、その他の多くの分野を含む、サーフィンのいくつかの要素に存在します。
Red Bull Surf Scienceプロジェクトの目標は、サーフィンへの取り組み方に革命を起こすことではなく、サーフィンを次のレベルに引き上げようとすることでもありません。代わりに、開発中の技術をさらに進歩させ、可能な限り過酷な条件でテストすることが目的です。このテクノロジーを機能させて信頼できる結果を生み出すことができれば、重要な学習を行い、水中だけでなく他のスポーツでもアスリートのパフォーマンスを向上させることができます。
Red Bull HighPerformanceチームのBrandonLarsonは、このプロジェクトの目的を次のように説明しています。「テクノロジーは、一連の作業で使用できるもう1つのツールです。部族の知識、経験的な知識、腸の感情、サーファーとーチのコラボレーションが常に最優先されます。しかし、このデータがあれば、進捗状況を監視し、必要な変更を修正することができます。」
そのことを念頭に置いて、テクノロジーの完全なリスト、科学者のグループ、そしてプロジェクトの最も重要な要素であるテスト対象者であるサーファーのジェイクマーシャル、ジョシュモニス、そして彼らのコーチであるクリス・ストーンとレイノス・ヘイズ。
「以前は、コーチがいなかったり、トレーニングをしていなかったりすると、サーフィンに科学を適用するのはばかげているように思われました」とストーンコーチはプロジェクトへの期待について説明します。より多くのレベル、あなたはその追加の改善をどこで見つけますか？」
メキシコに着いたら、物事がどうなるかを強く感じていたと思いましたが、ほとんどの科学験と同様に、予想以上に多くのことを学びました。

テクノロジー：ビデオウォッチ
Objective: Instant feedback with real time communication between surfer and coach.
Hypothesis: The quicker the feedback, the greater the impact. Imagine having the ability to watch a replay of your wave mixed with feedback from your coach as you paddle back into the lineup. Gone are the days of having to come in or wait until after the session to get the proper teaching to improve your surfing.
Experiment: After rigging a specially designed wi-fi system, Jake and Josh paddled out for a surf with their coaches behind the lens on shore ready to send info to the watch. After a few waves, and troubleshooting some technical issues with the watch, they were able to successfully complete the process.
フィードバックが速ければ速いほど、体はそれが何をしたかをより早く覚え、アスリートはそれらの変更を素早く行うことができます。
Conclusion: Once this system is fully dialed in, it will be the most immediately helpful of all of the technologies to the surfers. The benefit of immediate feedback will go a long way in improving their surfing. "The quicker the feedback, the quicker the body remembers what it did, and the athlete can make those changes quickly," says Chris. Along with video, live scoring sent to the watches will change the game during a heat in a contest. In the future the device can also be a platform to review other sensor data.
テクノロジー：「エアドッグ」、完全自律型ドローン
Objective: Analyze performance from a new perspective (or to give a coach a new visual perspective). Capture tight and accurate video by operating the drone by a sensor attached to the surfer.
Hypothesis: The arms race behind developing the perfectly operating autonomous drone is in full effect. The technology is out there and being fine tuned as we speak. In a day and age where footage is critical to a professional surfer's career, Air Dog aims to make the process easier.
Experiment: Putting the system to the test, Jake paddled out with a sensor around his neck and the drone over his head.
Conclusion: The potential is great. The ability to capture quality footage at a moment's notice without the help of a camera operator will go a long way. This technology is no longer around the corner; it’s here.

テクノロジー：ノッチ、モーションキャプチャセンサー
Objective: Exploring various paddling techniques and, if analyzed correctly, how can they help improve overall performance for the surfer.
Hypothesis: It may seem obvious, but rarely is paddling technique analysis thought of as a way to improve surfing.
Experiment: With the Notch attached to their wrists, Jake and Josh underwent a number of different paddling exercises, focusing solely on paddling without the action of trying to catch a wave.
Conclusion: An often overlooked but critical part of surfing is paddling. Analyzing your speed, stroke ratio, and performance outcome can make a difference in your surfing. Both Josh and Jake were able to find flaws in their paddling that they didn’t know existed. Sensor data supported onsite correction of these flaws.
テクノロジー：トレース-サーフセショントラッカー
Objective: The idea with Trace is to track the physics and performance of the surfer while on the wave.
Hypothesis: The small, puck-like sports monitor with GPS and nine axis sensors will provide useful data to analyze a specific training session.
Experiment: We attached the system to Jake and Josh’s boards before they paddled out for a surf.
Conclusion: This data is helpful for the surfer to analyze their session. While surfing, you don’t really think about how far, how fast, how many turns or at what angle you maneuver your board. This technology is directly related to performance and will help the surfer improve with analytics they didn’t pay attention to in the past.

テクノロジー：PPS圧力検知ブーツ。ドライブと制御
Objective: Gain insight into how surfers control their boards to optimize power and speed.
Hypothesis: The feet are the interfaces to the equipment and we believe elite surfers use very specific patterns of pressure on the board to carry out various maneuvers.
Experiment: Both Jake and Josh wore specially-designed booties with pressure sensors and focused their sessions on specific aspects of surfing: speed, cutbacks, and airs.
Conclusion: After taking the data pulled from the session, we’re able to analyze their technique for control, power and speed through the Tact Array system. These types of granular findings will help us analyze surfing at a deeper level than before.

テクノロジー：SMIアイトラッキンググラス
Objective: Identify exactly what the surfers are focusing on while surfing.
Hypothesis: This is the first step to understanding where the focus of a professional surfer is and how that can translate to the average surfer. This testing is common in mainstream sports but is new to surfing.
Experiment: With high-tech goggles and specially-designed fanny pack computers, we were able to capture video of exactly what Jake and Josh focused on while surfing.
Conclusion: It was the first time eye tracking was experimented with in water, now the goal is to take what they’ve learned and package it together for the average surfer to use to improve.
テクノロジー：ウェアラブルセンシングのドライEEG
Objective: Explore how surfers make decisions in the water.
Hypothesis: This technology can be utilized to help an athlete learn from their decision making process and prevalent mindset.
Experiment: This is the first time EEG has been tested in the ocean. As you can imagine, there was some difficulty in getting accurate readings, but after a few adjustments and strapping a laptop to the surfers back, we were able to gain some compelling data from Jake and Josh.
Conclusion: Turns out, surfers are as chill as they appear. Jake showed extreme relaxation while sitting out in the lineup. For the EEG test, it was more about the advancement in the system and the technology that will help better understand the mind in the long run.
今週メキシコで実験したすべてのテクノロジーは、長期的にはサーフィンに役立ちます。将来がどうなるか、本当に楽しみです。
レッドブルサーフサイエンスは、サーフィンのゲームを変えるようには設計されていません。それは、アスリートができる限りの成功を収めるのを助けることです。それは、テクノロジーを推進し、スポーツを改善するために私たちが知っていることを改善し、私たちが学んだ情報を他のアスリート、他のスポーツ、または一般の人々と共有することです。 「今週メキシコで実験したすべてのテクノロジーは、長期的にはサーフィンに役立ちます。将来がどうなるかを見るのは本当に楽しみです」とジェイクは言います。
