Surfing is naturally a solitary sport, where you can get away from the rest of the world. The best surf session lasts three times as long as you meant it to, as time slips away in the waves.

Smartphone brand Samsung is looking to change this however, bringing the world to the line up through their revolutionary digital surfboard.

The brand, who has worked many times with the surfing world through the World Surf League and ASP World Tour, is hoping to take the ‘solitary out of the sport’ by linking pro surfers with their coaches, even when they’re out in the water.
