Well, the short answer is, because it has multiple weather sources.

Google Ventures came up with the Design Sprint concept to evaluate projects before investing in them. The idea is to get a multidisciplinary team to solve a design problem within a few…
The example below is a Customer Journey Map for the target groups “advanced surfers” and “beginner surfers” used in the very beginning when we were exploring the idea of creating a surf app. The objective is to map how the target groups behave when doing activities related to wave surfing.
