Surfers Now Able to Rewind, Fast Forward, and Pause HD Surf Cams.
Online, August 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Solspot.com introduces the first ever series of free HD surf cams with 15 minute user controlled playback. The DVR has finally made its way to the surf cam.
Surfers have had a single way to look at surf for years - the live feed. Often times camera will launch and surfers make a go or no-go decision based on a very limited viewing window. "You can't always tell what the real time conditions are with only a minute or two of live footage. A surfer may login to see a lull and not have the patience to wait for a set and miss seeing the true size of the swell." explained Adam Wright Chief Forecaster.
This era is over. Solspot.com is using the new technology on 4 free HD surf cameras starting 8/25. The 15 minute feed will be tested at the following Newport Beach Surf Cams:
• Blackies (insert friendly URL)
• Blackies South Peak (insert friendly URL)
• Newport Pier (insert friendly URL)
• 28th Street Jetty (insert friendly URL)
• 56th Street Jetty (insert friendly URL)
• Prospect St Newport (insert friendly URL)
• Orange Street Newport (insert friendly URL)
• River Jetties Newport Beach (insert friendly URL)
"I can't believe we didn't think of it sooner." said Jens Rasmussen CTO. "The cams work just like your DVR at home. Load the page, watch a 15 second ad and get 15 minutes of footage. If you are looking at footage and no waves are showing - fast forward. See a great wave or ride - watch it again by rewinding."
If you simply cannot handle watching a slightly delayed feed then look right underneath each camera window. There is a link to the closest live cam.
