Abstract:
Mollusk Surf is the final result of this project, a search engine capable of offering geo-localized spaces in a virtual map. To create this tool, an offer of spaces for overnight with a van has been created near a space where surfing is practiced. Therefore, two types of places are offered in the search engine: the overnight stay and the surf spot. The searcher can offer the user the following information: coordinates of the space where to sleep, spot coordinates, free space, services offered by space (such as WC, showers or drinking water), descriptions of the spaces, municipality and community ( or region) relevant to the spaces, number of spots registered in the community (or region), distance between spot and space, spots images, space images, surf schools and, finally, forecasts in terms of conditions to practice surfing on the spot. The project analyzed the demand and supply of registered spaces, apart from creating a logo and an account for its dissemination in social networks.
