Latest reviews of iSurfer - Surfboards Guide app for iPhone and iPad
Finally! An app that is well thought out and well written. I highly recommend this app for any surfer trying to know his board(s). If possible it would be great to add a little bit more details on riding each board (ex: On a double concave its a board that needs to be driven on its rails, to do sharp maneuvers. Kind of like snowboarding.) This could be also a personal way of surfing… Ill let you decide. Brilliant app anyways. I still havent taken it off my iDevices. Cheers.
Ive been currently reading a book like this app, but the book goes more in depth; however this app is quicker to look for refernces.
Very informative! I love it!
App could incorporate board volumes and kinetic fins. Maybe more details as to how the board shapes/ tails perform in different waves i.e.: barrels, mushy, open face point breaks or beach breaks.
