Mark Baylis is the general manager of Optus’ digital business division. He’s a bit of a surfer, and says his favourite piece of tech is an app that allows him to get all the information he needs to get the best time out in the ocean.
“As a qualified lifesaver and father of two, I use Hurley Surf Coastalwatch which is a great app that provides me with the tidal conditions I need, like swell height, current, wind direction and forecast.”
“It has the largest collection of beach surfcams in Australia, and it’s great for pre-patrolling and ocean sports like ski paddling or for running events for the nippers on a Sunday morning. It’s available on both Android and iOS so I’m always up-to-date with beach conditions.”
