“C’était magique”, these are the words of Pauline Ado after winning the last world surf junior championship last week in Brazil. With her tilte she gets her wild card to the Rip Curl Pro Mademoizelle.

Congratulation Pauline :)

A complete interview (in french) of this talented young surfer from Hendaye is available at this link.

edit: an other interview of pauline is available here, on the excellent surfingRadio.com.

Surf Kultura, a very good surf blog, has recently launch a project to edit and register surf, skate and windsurf spots all around the world. You just have to tagg them.
We are really pleased to see that different projects like Wikiriders and Surfkultura has been released. That means this kind of website provides good informations and services to the surf community. As both have different advantages and features, everyone will have the possibility to switch between them. For exemple, most spots on wikiriders are in English, on surf kultura atlas, most of them are in Castillan or Spanish.

I think that more information and contents are released on the web, better it is for everone :).

As we say in our presentation, wikiriders want to be open to everyone. And if we hope a lot of spot descriptions will be added, we also want to be very respectful and careful not to have any secret spot reveiled.
So we have provide 3 different ways to avoid this case.

First, the wikiriders team will always keep a eye on all new content added.

Secondly, more than 10 local surfers have accepted to moderate new spots in their region.

And third, on each spot page, there is an alert bouton specialy designed to alert moderators. Everyone can use if something doesn’t look good.

I hope you think these 3 degrees will be enough to guaranty a good working of the site. I’m always open to all your comments :)

What’s up about the new features of wikiriders…

First, thank you very much about all the comments and feedbacks we received about the ergonomy of Wikiriders. Thanks to them, the way to add a new spot in the good region will be soon improved.

By the way, the design of news blog of the website has also been refine with a nicer search box and availables categories.

The 25th of June, “C’est la fête !” as french peolple say.

For the third year, “la fête du surf” an annual surf festival will take place in many beach of France.

More information are available on the official site.
