Scientists and Surfers travel to Mexico to test technology in hope of improving athlete performance. The goal of the Red Bull Surf Science project is not to revolutionize the way we approach surfing, or even try to elevate it to next level, instead the objective is to further the technology that is being developed, and test it in the harshest conditions possible. If we can get this technology to work and produce credible results, we'll be able to take key learnings and hopefully improve athlete performance, not only in the water but with other sports as well.

Am I the only one bothered that we didn't actually see any scientists surfing?
Red Robot, your not alone
I see that a lot of you don't understand the video at all. This is not showing off the future of surfing- nobody's gonna be wearing backpacks and goggles and neuron hats- this is just the tools the scientists use in order to analyze surfing and understand what makes the pros so good in order to improve training techniques as well as technology (best board shapes and materials)
One thing I like about surfing is the simplicity of it. It's me, my board shorts, my board, and the ocean. Half the reason I go surf is to get away from all the technology. Away from my phone and computer, and other people. Plus I don't want to go surfing looking like a fuckin android, sorry.
What Iron Lee said.
Hahahhaha amen brother
Definitely not what surfing's all about but I guess its cool for the pro surfers
Thanks Red Bull! We're excited Trace is helping your athletes improve their performance. Honored to be part of this project.

The eye tracking was very cool. I always wanted to know what surfers are looking at when making split second decisions. I would like to see that used on proximity wingsuit sky divers.
More like "when product designers go surfing"
"when product designers watch kids go surfing"
i want those eye trackers to replace my go pro
Wow, judging by the comments the surfing community is not as chill as I thought.
+ranndino Yeah I noticed that on a lot of videos lately especially after finding out that two Brazilians won.
ikr like chill if the don't like it they ignore it this for scientist
are you kidding me? Only people that want to be surfers act all cool and chilled. Actual surfers are no different to any of us. In fact, they're probably a lot less chilled and hot headed
Thanks for judging us.
mate i dont think you know what chill is
the only way to get better at surfing is by surfing more. everything else we've seen here is truly interesting in a scientific setting. With that said, I stand by my belief of surfing any and all conditions as often as possible will make you a better surfer. 37 years of doing this is proof.
amazing how red bull continue to push sport to new heights and limits... fantastic
i used to be one of those 13 year old kids who was good at stuff and just wanted to play sports all day, awesome to see that some of those kids are going pro before 18 and actually doing what i wanted to do when i was their age
It's cool to see the advance metrics involved.
sounds like some pretty affordable equipment
I absolutely love this video. I must share. appeals to the tech geek in me as well as the sports and film side. Amazing!
Looks like this was a lot of fun, and some cool gadgets out there :D
I just watched the flying squirrel. She is an amazing little girl. She will be at the of world surfing if she wants. What a special little girl.
What is happening surfing ...? This is not what surfing is about "being better" its about having fun! parents want there kid to be a pro surf at the age of 12 just have fun surfing and progress
+Aidan Gunn Its a competitive sport now day and these test are used in just about every sport you can think of (football, baseball, MMA,golf). If you want to be the best you need to be on top of everything. Having a slight advantage over your opponent can be the difference between a 9 and a 9.5.
2:05 The Walking Dead Season 1 was definitely filmed there
surf doesn't need tech, surf only needs passion!
If surf didn't need "tech" we'd still be using redwood boards and you wouldn't be able to surf in winter because we wouldn't have wetsuits
Iron Lee hit the nail on the head ,keep it simple and just go surfing.
looks awesome but when will the be available to buy? thesed be great to train and cut out faults.
This test was filmed in a excellent place for surf in Mexico just at the spots of Punta Conejo y Las Salinas; SALINA CRUZ OAXACA- MEXICO!
When I was young we had to pay someone in pot to film from the beach for us; with an analog video recorder... wow things have changed
These kids rip, so don't get me wrong, but that kid standing there with all the gear reminded me of an old Wilbur Kookmyer cartoon were Wilbur had every accessory possible. Brought me back. Oh, and good seeing old "Purple" Hayes working with the kids!
no
that technology is unbelievable
Not sure it's what surfing is about but it's a great excuse to get some cool new toys for surfing
Sick
Surfing was an escape for me, to be alone or with a few friends. Getting up early or travelling for something special something awesome, and to learn on my own and be at one with nature. This kinda defeats that purpose, its more jockish, but thats pro sports for ya. I guess I wouldn't mind the pros paycheque, and I am sure they love it too. Maybe not such a free spirit feeling though?
nice video its time to update our tech many will not make it
nice waves in Mexico, what's the name of that beach ? please, thank's in advance
Awesome video, very interesting
last spot in NZ !
What happened to Josh Moniz's pec?
I am one who is all for enhancing a sport through science but I think they are getting a little crazy with this. What happened to surfing logs, turning with your toes, and avoiding da hui?
This is really cool and all... but I think the soul of action sports comes from the pure talent, adrenaline, and practice of these dope individuals. Any amount of technology won't substantially progress the sport itself. The people are what make the sports crazier and crazier and crazier... with no technology that is.
i love teknallajee
some of these technologies were kind of lame like the EEG proved that someone who is good and likes surfing gets excited when he starts surfing but the Airdog is super awesome.
I love how surfing has developed. Who needs purity anyway?
these projects make me sad and disappointed for the future , and the loss of any freedom that comes along with stepping in the water and away from tech
your board have a lot of tech..
How bout they show some more results like come on. I want to see the foot pressure on cut backs and airs
hey,
Amazing movie!
Have a nice evening :-)
hm fascinating. That what wave dose he like is interesting.
bad ass
Bisa ke ombak bono?
What part of Mexico is this?
Raul Martinez ...salina cruz oaxaca
Nice
Another reason why I want my own wave pool.
Red Bull where in mexico is this spot?
Now THIS is COOL!
Oh yeah
part of the fun of surfing is being in nature and not using electronics if you are going to do this minus well surf in virtual reality and not in real life.
you missed the point. Most successful (pro) surfers have coaches that will go to every extreme to get insights. Once you get the insight you remove the tech that got it for you. It's not about using electronics all the time, but rather a few sessions to get you the insights to generate the awareness to bring you bast a hurdle. Wake up sir!
Alguém traduz por favor? Obrigado.
Surf coach lmao
one of the unfortunate symptoms of surfings popularity,
WORD!!
Cool
no wonder they've got a kid to do this , no way an old school champ would get involved in this mess
You should get this technology tested on a water polo player (me)
This is cool and all but its only putting surfing and whatever other sports this evolves to into the the hands wealthier people. I think its a getting a little out of hand nowadays. Eventually the only people who will be able to succeed and move up in sports are the ones who can financially do so.
I got my drone for only about $1500 in Chicago
Data is the new gold. Tech-no logical advances💰💰How about help keep the ocean clean so our children's children can also have a chance to surf🙏
Cool video but the title is misleading.
dream job
I dont see why people think this is stupid this could really help surfing and change our sport
"Yeah this is awesome. I will remember to apply 23% more pressure on right toe number 3 as I negociate the bottom turn in front of that massive wall of water about to crash on my head and send me face first into the reef below." When poison money turns art into commercial sport. Welcome to modern corporate greed, when you have to look at a fucking computer screen to tell you how you felt in the water. This is f'd up and a little bit scary.
missing the point my man - even Kelly is looking is performance gains and how to be better and last longer. The best of the best can feel the swing weight of the sponsor decal on the tip of the board. Try to think about the spectrum of surfing and you will understand more. It's not about sponsors - it's about winning and legacy drive. Humans are complex and not everyone fits our own biased viewpoints.
what happened to an amazing sport
Dude found this Kid named Justin Louden pretty good content very cool. Check him out guys
What beach is this please RED BULL?
Surf Editing Media Salina Cruz
Is impressive how many comments are missing the mark here. This is data collection from experienced healthy surfers. This should get everyone stoked on the sport. I’m new to surfing and have watched hours of useless surf tutorials. The eye tracking can be a breakthrough is teaching new and experienced surfers alike how to spot, catch and surf more waves. It’s a dream short lived though because like most action sports there’s probably not a ton of money in surfing to entice further research. All you negative machos get what you want in the end.
Love it man - you totally nailed it on the head!
Where are the results?
FY
Funny is that these guys don't need no training. They're already good. haha
HA! Even Kelly trains and aspires to the next level. Short sighted, shallow minded.
Surf
ure dont need a brain scan to tell me that I get pumped when I see a good wave.
All on the wrist now
WOT A KOOK
lol just buy one of the Rip Curl watches instead of fucking around with all those gadgets, too much...
Just program your board to go surfing for you. Might as well, because all that junk ain't surfing.
stop the fashion of great caps and big glasses they look like nothing!
Who is this little guy?
Jake Marshall
I can't even express how pointless this "science" was. I can't think of a single thing done here that improved surfing, except maybe putting some money into these kids' pockets so they can surf more which is all they care about. Watching replays encourages self critique which hinders competitor performance. If you want science focus on performance diets, paddling strength training to win paddle battles, and better boards, shorts, and wetsuits. All of this technology serves no significant purpose. Typical Red Bull nonsense. Throw money at a half-baked idea just to promote your company. Great.
Make Stephen Hawking surf
as if surfing wasn't ruined enough.
Drones to kill the art of cinematography... Thanks Redbull!
I've had enough I think this whole approach to a pastime that was free n easy is frankly so fucked it takes the fun out of the experience and turns it into a money making op from which only those that live on marketing can only gain!!!!!! stick it the can you fucking narcissistic lunatics and let the art of surfing remain forever free
Tone Read What Tone said. Agreed and i'm a young fuck.
Drones should be banned from beaches. such a menace.
You don't have to use the tech. All I'm gonna say.
As a fan of the sport, and a lover of youtube, I can see why people would watch this video. But this is taking it too far... eye tracking leading to increased performance in non professional surfers.... cmon, please, just let them surf
Stop it, just stop things like that. Go out and surf or do whatever you want to do, technology might be good in some points - but it's too much. Saw an ad for a toothbrush with bluetooth for your smartphone, I mean - WHAT THE HELL
I don't like this! Its like bike running, but if I do smth, I do it for my pleasure, I guess there is no bigger joy than feeling the water while surfing, why do you need all this stuff that translates surf into shitty challenges
Nike#
Its surfing, not rocket science. Keep it simple and natural, guys. Aloha.
Je suis le premier a maître un commantaire
leave it to shitty energy drink companys to add pointless shit to surfing...
holy shit you have no idea what Red Bull does, do you?
aside from being a multi billion dollar corporation that exploits profesional athletes?make pointless things in surfing obviously
omgitsjonnn Red Bull is just a marketing company, they don't even make the energy drinks that they push.
nuhhhhhhh aedyvub
"What happens when scientists go surfing" ?
Surfing becomes boring as fuck.
Robot surfing. Next generation. This is some BS
its a lol crap...
this is absolute crap, plain and simple
+Jack Toouli That's what the religious thought about science way back too.
New technologies = more crap to buy.
This is why no one watches professional surfing anymore.
Mainstream surfing killed surfing.
No more core
i don't see all this necessary, surfing will loss it's magic. scientist should look for a way to clean the polluted waters, for example...or try to bring artificial surf to the cities with no sea..but all that technology right there has no propose at all. What's the point on measuring facts we all can realize? choosing waves is an instinct that the surfer has to develop by instinct.
How to remove all the passion out of surfing and everything it stands for. Thank America.
America invented the fiberglass surfboard and wetsuit. You are hereto banned from using either.
