21st Century Surfers Get Technical With IP Cameras and More
The stereotypical surfer dude has given way to determined and technologically aware individuals, male and female, who stops at nothing to catch the best waves.
Gone are the days when these guys wander down to the beach to “hopefully” catch a wave. They now use sophisticated equipment including IP technology, broadband services and weather data solutions to monitor the wave action.
Truly dedicated sports men and women, whose lives revolve around the ocean, work commitments, shopping or homework play second fiddle to surfing the waves.
Surf related websites like Wavewatch have become an integral part of everyday life. To outsiders they are full of statistical data which doesn’t mean very much, but to the avid surfer they are a direct connection to Mother Nature. Up to the minute weather information including swell heights, wind speeds, satellite imagery, isobars and water temperatures. Indeed, everything a surfer needs to catch the best barrels.
Our Streamdays service has become another important tool to the surfing fraternity. Our live uk webcams at Croyde Bay, Newquay and Cornwall have become extremely popular, and we fully expect this trend to continue.
If you have a surfcam and would like for it to be included on www.streamdays.com please contact us. We are soon to launch a free webcam hosting service which is aimed at making it simpler than ever to launch a professional interactive webcam on your website.
If you don’t already have a webcam, Streamdays offers a number of packages to get you started. Just give us a call on 0151 633 2111.
