The 2015 Vans U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California is taking place from July 25 to August 2, 2015. In partnership with World Surf League (WSL), Samsung has identified a number of areas where innovation and technology could improve surfers’ performances and get fans more connected to the sport they love. With the specially developed water resistant casing for Samsung Gear S and an application designed for WSL and surfers, competitors are able to see weather conditions so they can catch the best waves at the right times. They can also easily access their individual scores during the competition and can track remaining time in their heats.
