Euskalsurf app for surfers in the Basque Country makes use of Open Data

EuskalSurf is an app for the iPhone created by a Basque company, Hegaka, that works as an guide for surfers that want to practice that sport in the Basque beaches (several well known European surfing spots among us). The app combines a variety of services like a connection with Windguru, connections to webcams in beaches, maps, and from our Open Data Euskadi, initiative weather and sea conditions (forecast of sea conditions, winds and water temperature).

It also works on Ipad and Ipod Touch, not only iPhones. So far it’s interface is in Spanish, but a multilingual version is upcoming. Updates will include extra features as well, for instance a virtual reality option (Hegaka sent us a screenshot of that, see below). Maybe we’ll also see an Android soon.

Thanks Hegaka, good work, we hope EuskalSurf is a success.
