Free iphone Surf App.

If you are a surfer and have an iphone or an itouch, then you should look into this free application from Oakley and Surfline. They are the first to create this free mobile access to surf reports and more. This is their press release about the application. Definitely look into it!
"FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., and HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., November 10, 2008 – Oakley, Inc. and Surfline today announced the release of an Apple® iPhone® application that provides worldwide mobile access to surf reports. Developed by Oakley in conjunction with Surfline, the application utilizes a media rich format to present real-time information from Surfline, the leading provider of surf reports, forecasts and editorial content on the sport.
Pro surfers have responded favorably to the new application. In the words of Sebastian Zietz, Oakley global surf team member, "It's 'sick' being able to check the waves without having to turn on a computer. No matter where I go, I always know how the waves are."
The initial release of the free downloadable mobile iPhone application will provide continually updated information on surf and weather conditions, as well as information on the surf community and culture including news, photos and videos.
Users can bookmark their favorite beaches or find locations by city, state, zip code, name or region. Additional information includes surf conditions, weather, safety notices and reports. General weather forecasts are available, along with projected surf conditions for the following three days. Directions to beaches are available via convenient map links. A separate screen offers news and information on surf­ing events, videos optimized for the iPhone from Surfline, as well as imagery on the sport and biogra­phies of Oakley team riders.
To download the free application, owners of an iPhone (or iPod® touch) running iPhone OS 2.1 or later can simply open the "App Store" application. On a computer, users can open iTunes® and download the application through the "Music Store" section.
