Surfline

Torrance Burnouts and Avenues? Yeah, there you go.

That's what Surfline used to say.

I mean, to tell you the truth, I mean, those beaches still pack a punch, you know, on good winter days.

Like, it's good out there.

So yeah, some interesting stuff happening in that space, Mikey, but all roads, I guess, in surf forecasting end up leading to one place, don't they?

Yeah, well, and that's another thing that we get a lot from them is like, oh, like this is more accurate than Surfline or it's like it's the same info as Surfline, but free.

And that was kind of one of the cool findings that you had in the story, I thought, is that all the data that every one of these sites pretty much is pulling to create their forecasts is free.

It's publicly available weather information that's provided by, I believe, governments or at least agencies.

Yeah, government-funded agencies, yeah.

It does sound like Surfline has some proprietary technology that gives them access to something else that some of these other AI things wouldn't.

They do the math

based on wind.

Whether it's small waves or heavy second or third reef pipe, Funk is always in the mix, driven by discipline, courage, and her background as a competitive swimmer and Coast Guard officer.

Her work has been featured in Free Surf Magazine, Surfline, and across countless feeds where her images capture the raw beauty, chaos, and perfection of the ocean.

Known for her relentless work ethic, she's often paddling out before sunrise, staying in the water longer than anyone, and training with a hardcore fitness routine to handle the most extreme conditions.

But Krista's story didn't begin at Pipeline.

It's h- I mean...

Interesting.

Um, I would say when I got my first paycheck from Surfline.

There you go.

S- well, okay.

Surfline cameras.

Mm.

Influencers who barely surf, foil boards and surf zones, soft tops, surf contests and bad waves, or it was, it was better yesterday guys.

Th- okay, those three.

I've got them down to that three.

So what do you not like about surf cams? Are you talking about like Surfline cameras?

I hate Surfline.
