Sharkbait gave it's first daily surf report from Brighton Beach in April 1999
Living in a crummy flat behind the back of Brunswick Terrace. Rent was cheap but outside my front door was the West Pier. I had just connected to the internet and wanted my own site. I would be checking the surf each morning anyway so why not share it with others? This was when Sharkbait was conceived.
It consisted of one single page and I put up a couple of links on surfing news groups telling people where to find the report. During the first few months I was pulling in nearly 10 to 15 hits a day!
Sharkbait now gets over 50000 hits a month. Thanks for all your support!
