Local Inventor soliciting local surfers to test new AI-powered Shark Proximity Sensor equipped surfboard.

Looks like somebody in Todos Santos thinks surfboards need to be less about your skill and more about a fully developed operating system. Now, instead of just paddling out and trusting your judgment, you get to pre-paid safety and the existential dread of a shark tracking your every move via microchip. Get ready to paddle through Baja's most technologically over-engineered, and possibly very expensive, surf session yet.

Naturally, after the Harmonizer does its best work, we still end up at the local clinic for that persistent stomach bug.
