Given the world’s easy access to all human knowledge, it’s often tempting to feel like everything has been discovered. Yet an objective way of measuring waves has remained elusive. A new drone company claims to have found a solution.<\/p>\n
Given the ever-increasing number<\/a><\/strong> of claims from surfers about record-breaking waves, the need for a proper measuring tool becomes apparent. For example, it took over a year for Guinness World Records to confirm that Sebastian Steudtner surfed a 2<\/strong>6m wave<\/strong><\/a> in Nazar\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> in October 2020.<\/p>\n Called Henet Wave, the startup has announced a drone-based method for obtaining “objective” measurements of waves in real-time.<\/p>\n A recently released YouTube video shows the company’s first demonstration of their drone technology in collaboration with surfing pro Andrew Cotton.<\/p>\n
