History
Surfline was started by surfer and sailor Sean Collins in 1985, out of Collins' own desire for more accurate long-range surf forecasts for Southern California and the Baja California peninsula.[1] The company started as a call-in service, which provided verbal condition reports for various surf breaks around Southern California.[2] In 1995 Surfline became an online service, offering live video streams of surf breaks in addition to written surf reports.[3]
At present, Surfline offers streaming cameras at 150 surf breaks[3] and is one of the larger surf cam websites.[4] Surfline currently has approximately 50 employees.[5]
