Science: ...and Surfing (NPR's "TheWorld" and the Exploratorium)

"When you hear the words 'technology' and 'surfing' in the same sentence, you might think of the internet before you think of the ocean. But those two words go together to help wave riders predict whether worthwhile swells are heading their way. By looking at satellite and climate data that's available on the web, surfers can follow storms into shore and be there in time to catch the biggest waves." -- from the website. <http://www.exploratorium.edu/>
