How do I MMS a Photo Report?

STEP 1: Register your Profile first
 
This allows us to know that your photo reports come from you. Only your profile name is displayed under your report.
(This is the simple registration form, if you wish to set-up your business profile please use this detailed form here.)

Email: *
Cell number: + * (11 digits, eg. 27840000000)

 



STEP 2: SAVE Share Surf email address to your camera cell phone
 
Do this now before leaving for the beach.

Each Surf Break on Share Surf has a unique email address displayed at the top of that Surf Break's page. You will need to MMS or Email your Photo Reports to this address.



SAVE the unique email address as a contact e.g. "North Beach Durban" would be saved as:
Name field: Share Surf North Durban
Email field: northdurban@sharesurf.info
Note: Don't save the email address in the 'Tel' field.


STEP 3: Create & Send your MMS or Email Photo Report
 
After your surf session or while cruising on the beach whip out your phone and let us know whats up!

What text comments can I insert?
Along with your Photo you can give comments on the conditions at the beach. Here are some suggestions:

·  Tide e.g. low, high, mid-tide
·  Swell height e.g. 1ft, 6ft, 15ft.
·  Wind Direction e.g. n, e, w, s, sw, ne, se, nw.
·  Sea Conditions e.g. [Stoked/Bummed] [Jellies/BlueBottles] [Peaky/Flat] [Surfable/Unsurfable] [Worth it/ Not worth it] [Choppy/Smooth] [Weak/Powerful] [Inconsistent/Consistent].


Example Text Comments:
1. going low, 4ft, sw, consistent worth it.
2. high tide, 1-2ft, ne, choppy surfable.
