I wrote an iphone/ipad app for anyone interested in wave bouy data on the east coast.

1. If you're (not your) tired of surf forecasts, this app will do nothing for you as it just provides you with observations....NOT forecasts.

2. If you did it for fun the app would be free, not $1.19 a pop to access information that is freely available at the Manly Hydraulics website.

3. You are a 42 year old dude, who has never surfed and still lives with his mum.

thanks humpty for exposing this con-artist.

Humpty/Ed, Do you know you have to pay Apple to write an app in the first place? Here is another idea, dont buy it. Good luck using safari to get the data.

For everyone else, its now free, enjoy.

Seriously, some people are so stupid. mpancino is just trying to be a nice guy... a con-artist? I fucking hate this kind of narrow mindedness. Give the guy a break, I'd love to see you give out free software that you have written. You obviously have no appreciation for the time and effort that goes into any sort of software development. This kind of development should be supported, not discouraged...
