Surf Buds is the social network for surfers and is a proud member of the Surfrider Foundation. Join Surf Buds in supporting Surfrider and help protect our oceans, waves, and beaches. Surf Buds is developed, maintained, and moderated by James Loren an avid surfer and web development consultant working in the industry for over 10 years.

The original concept for Surf Buds was conceived in November 2007 and was intended to be a hub for surfers to access surfing resources around the internet. The idea quickly evolved into a site that would be customizable as well as enable its members to connect with friends. The current version of Surf Buds (2.0) still accomplishes this and much more...

• Members can now save up to 1 gigabyte of images to be displayed on their surf site in photo albums they create.
• Members can now have their very own surf blog - the perfect place for posting videos, adding links to surfing resources, or simply sharing thoughts and ideas.

Two additional "behind the scenes" upgrades implemented in Surf Buds 2.0 are changes in its programming and web hosting. Surf Buds now has a powerful social networking platform at its core and is hosted by Dreamhost - a reputable and well respected company known for their fast servers, reliability, and outstanding support.
