I've used a heart rate monitor (Polar F7) while surfing and paddleboarding in Hawaii--mostly west & north shore Oahu. I was impressed by how many calories are burned during heavy surf. I'd say roughly 10 calories/minute. It has a hard time reading your heart rate when submerged and when the monitor shifts due to duck dives etc; but all in all it's worth it.
