The Origin of www.glissers.com

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

The idea behind www.glissers.com was born in Dakar, Senegal, while on a week-long surfing holiday at Ngor Surf Camp. Originally, we wanted to create a surf travel operator for Scandinavian surfers. But after spending a few hours googling, it was clear that there are already good alternatives for the Scandies, so we decided to try something else.

One of my favorite web sites is www.yelp.com, which lists user reviews of restaurants and bars etc in San Francisco. I love reading other peoples honest opinion about things they care about, and I’m pretty sure surfers would appreciate the same kind of information - reviews and tips on where to stay while on a surfing trip.

Let’s see if the idea was good or bad - we’ve just started a long journey :)
