HOW IT WORKS

After a swap and surf member has connected on the APP, he's able to tag places and to add a short description and a picture.

Those submissions allow us to build a world map of all informations a traveling surfer need.

Any surfers can use the APP to find solutions like “where to fix a board”. He just needs to download the APP for free and to scroll the themes according to his problems or his desires. The APP will geolocalize you and gives all resources around you.

If you want to go to a particular Point of Interest, you can click on “get me there” to launch your navigation APP to drive you to the place you want to go

So far, you can choose out of 8 themes :
- The local surf shop ?
- Where to fix a surfboard ?
- It’s flat, what to do to get action ?
- Where to rent a surfboard ?
- Surfers friendly bar, restaurant … ?
- A surf spot for family time ?
- Need a physiotherapist ?
