In the hunt to find a reason to pay for Surline’s “premium subscription” the wave forecasting site is rolling out a new “HD surf-cam experience” for those who just aren’t getting enough wave detail on the free cams.
Surfline’s founder Sean Collins says, “In March 2009, Surfline introduced the very first live HD Surf Cam from Surfline headquarters in Huntington Beach. Using a 16:9 format and high-resolution detail, the video streaming quality is excellent, and viewing the online camera is as if you are actually on location and watching the waves from our office.”
Sure, eventually all surf cams (and cameras in general) will be high definition, but are we really going to pay to see Newps in HD? Nope. But if we were already paying it would be a nice upgrade.
