(a) Shows the time series of SST acquired by the surfer at Wembury beach overlain onto the daily median SST data from station L4 during the study period (N refers to the number of samples). (b) Shows a scatter plot of daily match-ups between SST acquired by the surfer at Wembury beach and SST data from station L4. Bracketed statistics refer to use of hourly match-ups between the two datasets. (c) Shows the time series of SST from satellite (AVHRR) at station L4 overlain onto the daily median SST data from station L4 (buoy) during the study period. (d) Shows a scatter plot of daily match-ups between SST from satellite (AVHRR) at station L4 and SST data from the buoy at station L4. (e) Shows the time series of SST from satellite (AVHRR) at Wembury beach overlain onto SST acquired by the surfer at Wembury beach during the study period. (f) Shows a scatter plot of daily match-ups between SST from satellite (AVHRR) at Wembury beach and SST data acquired by the surfer at Wembury beach. Statistics are denoted as follows: r2 is the squared Pearson correlation coefficient; Ψ is the Root Mean Square Error; Δ is the unbiased Root Mean Square Error; δ is the bias; S and I are the slope and intercept of a linear regression respectively; and N refers to the number of match-ups

(a) Shows the Tidbit V2 temperature logger attached at mid-point to the surfboard leash. HOBOware software and HOBO USB Optic Base Station (BASE-U-4) were used by the surfer to launch the Tidbit V2 temperature logger prior to each session, and then to upload data post session. (b) Shows the GARMIN extrex 10 GPS, water-resistant Aquapac and waist-bag worn by the surfer. Information at one second intervals on location (latitude and longitude), time, distance, speed and orientation for each surf, were extracted from the GPS device post session. (c) Shows the surfer equipped with the sensors, and (d) shows the surfer collecting data during a session at Wembury beach. Consent to publication was obtained from the participant in this figure.
