Stormrider Surf Guide for iPhone and iPod touchStormrider Surf Guide for iPhone and iPod touch

The Stormrider Surf Guides have been around for 20 years, illuminating surfer’s journeys all over the world. Shedding a bit of light on the road less travelled has now moved on from the printed page and into the palm of your hand with the launch of the new Stormrider Surf Guides App. Displaying all the hallmarks of the incomparable books, this application gives you all the reliable surf information you need to travel ‘Planet Surf’ or explore your own backyard. We know the surf breaks don’t change much, but the weather and swell conditions are constantly in flux, so we have hooked up with magicseaweed to bring you the total package. Here’s how it works-

 

Application Contents

We are constantly striving for perfection, both in the water and with our new Stormrider Surf Guide App, but it is impossible to squeeze 20 years hard work into this format overnight. We will be constantly striving to update, upgrade, increase and improve our app over the next year as we add large content packs to the list of regions and countries.
