Surf Worldwide News
Hey there! Back here from Honula. 🏄
Since we want to drive surf to the 21st century, technology at Honula is always a priority.
I don’t know if you have seen it already, but WSL created a facebook messenger chatbot that responds immediately to surfers questions. Try it here: WSL chatbot
Chatbots are very cool 😎, because users can interact with them and ask relevant information, like weather conditions, location, opening hours, frequently asked questions or they can book directly from the chatbot a surf lesson or a surf camp.
This will not ruin the magic of surf, but it will just simplify life or surfers and travellers, that will focus only on the experience, trying to get the best from it.
If you are a surf business that would like to have his own chatbot to assist users and give them the best experience or if you are a surfer and want to tell us what you think about it, send us your feedback at: info@honula.com
So, lets’ see what’s cool this week. 😎
