予報アプリは、波を予測する。Outribeは、波に入った人が教えてくれる。 既存のサーフアプリはデータと予報だけ。でも本当に知りたいのは「今朝、実際に入った人はどう感じたか」じゃないですか? Outribeは違います。 現場の声 - これが核心 今日その波に入ったサーファーが、波サイズ、波の面、混雑、駐車場を直接レポート。機械の予測ではなく、海の中にいた人間のリアルな声。あなたがレポートを投稿すると、今日の他の現場の声がアンロックされる。情報はシェアすることで広がります。 TRIBEで仲間とつながる サーフィンは一人のスポーツじゃない。仲間のセッションをフィードでチェックして、今日どこで入ったかをシェア。一緒に海に向かう理由が、ここにある。 データも、もちろん充実 Stormglassのリアルタイムデータで波高、周期、風速、潮汐を確認。全国166以上のスポットをマップで一覧。お気に入りスポットも登録できます。 貢献がリワードになる レポートを重ねるとハートが貯まり、OUTRIBEオリジナルグッズと交換可能。地元スポットへの貢献度でローカルバッジも獲得できます。 一人でデータを見て判断する時代は終わった。 仲間の声で、今日の波を選ぼう。
