    Hi there,

    I'm in school for ux research and I'm doing a project related to surf forecasting apps. If you have a minute, or three, and can answer a few questions, I'd appreciate it!

    Thank you.

    Roger


    Edit: I guess you need three posts before you can post links...bummer.

    You'll need to post up pics of your gf / sig other, detail your surfing experience, and explain why propere crammar ain't apparently taught to youse in today's edumacation systeme.

    You know what I hate about surf apps? Well, one in particular...

    I pay $5 (I think, it's been years) with the promise of improvements, and instead of improvements I get a complete loss of function.

    Well... Stop paying because that doesn't sound so smart.

    I was hoping to squeeze a few more pennys out of the app lol. I only ever looked at it a handful of times tbh. It really lacked content.

    I guess Windy is getting most of my clicks, with some Stormsurf and Tropical Tidbits mixed in. I'm all over the place.

    There's a new localish website called Pinpoint Surf that I have checked into a couple time but their UX needs work.

    ....and we all know real surfers get their most critical surfing info from the 'stoke these days

    I've noticed SI is still pulling accurate buoy data, so that's a starting point.
