Need to find some tips to shape your own board ?

Shaperoom is the website to find advices and to discuss all about  of theses topics. With many tutorials and forums, the information you find is certainly not too far.

Wikiriders is a collaborative website, everyone is invited to share information, spot, links… and pictures. It is really easy to do it, just go on a spot page and click on the bouton “add a new photo”.

What is new for a surf website and I think very enjoyable is that all the pictures must be registered under a creative and commons licence. Choose the terms of your licence and let all the people enjoy and share your pictures the way you choose.

Of course if you are the author of one picture uploaded without your authorization, just send us an email by the alert button or at this adress (contact@wikiriders.com). We will take it down as quickly as we can.

Last 13th of May, a new surf world record has been established thanks to the Lahinch Surf School. 44 people succeed to stand simultaneously on one wave. Congratulation :-)
Many pictures of this record can be see on the flickr account of Surferpaudie.

Surf has always been closely linked with art (painting, photography, music…), and Club of the Waves has been created in this idea.

This great new surf website offers the opportunity to every surf artists to get a personal page where they can publish all their works.

We can also find a lot of articles about surf culture.

Now you’ve got an account on Wikiriders, you can add a new surf spot.
You just have to come back on the home page and choose the country where you want to add a spot.

Then select the region and click on the link “add a spot”. You will be automatically redirected on the dedicated page.

The first thing to do is to localise the spot on the map. Be careful to zoom as much as you can to have the best precision and double click to let “Spot” point. Then you can add all the text you want in the description fields.
Click on button “add this spot” and that’s it.

Your spot is on-line : )
