While some people use their drones for racing, fishing (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiema7T2Y_PAhXGaT4KHWVvDxwQFggcMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2F2015%2F09%2F01%2Fd rone-fishing%2F&usg=AFQjCNGIji_-6ZRe_lgTbExmjUhgITlqRQ&sig2=y4E8p1gBB3mcm_Vh2fvmaw&bvm=bv.132479545,d.cWw&utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) and even to deliver burritos (http://mashable.com/2016/09/13/alphabet-chipotle-drone-virginia-tech/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial), Freefly Systems (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb/freeflysystems.com) found a new use for its drone: surfing.
