Associate with like-minded people, there is power in positive synergy. - Nike Adeyemi

Absolutely, Nike.

Communities were set as one of the goals for Q3/2017 in Steemit Inc's Roadmap 2017.

We wish to enable many users to build communities in parallel around curating specific types of content valuable to their audiences.

What I'd love to do in preparation for Q3 is bringing all the surfers together in order to set up a SteemSurf Community.

So who wants to be part of the 'SteemSurf World Map'? 🌎🌎🌎

Building a worldwide surf community 👊

In one of my last vlogs I mentioned that my favorite group of interest on steemit is #surfing.

However, I stopped using the tag #surfing for a while since there wasn't much engagement.

Yesterday Sharon @fitinfun left this comment in my YouTube channel:

I just looked at the #surfing tag and it looks like a lot of people are posting there. Maybe that is your community :) Subbed and liked.

I immediately jumped over to the surfing section and noticed that Sharon was completely right!

It seems that a lot of surfers have joined the platform lately and started to post under this tag. That's great news!

I started to read, upvote and comment some new entries, began to follow them and suddenly an idea came on my mind.

Why not designing a Steem World Surf Map showing all the surf spots where steemit's surfers are located?

So if you ever wanted to go on a surf trip, you might choose a destination from this map and meet a fellow steemian for a nice community surf 😊

I've seen a lot of like-minded wave seekers on steemit so far.

They've been posting from California ( @creatr ), Australia's Gold Coast ( @beachbuminvestor ), Hawaii ( @hichamwallace ) or even reporting from several spots where the WSL (World Surf League) competions took place ( @sandrino ).

Did you know that India's youngest professional surfergirl @oceanchild joined steemit lately?

Imagine that we could 'make some noise' and bring even more PRO's on the platform?!

Doors are open!

Then of course there have been several steemians blogging about their surfing holidays. One of my favorite posts was definitely Luke's ( @lukestokes) Surfing Costa Rica which was one of the very first blog posts I read on steemit after joining the platform one year ago.

Not forgetting to mention @chrisadventures who posted this fantastic surf tutorial How To Start Surfing a couple of months ago.

There is so much knowledge, like-mindedness and cool surfing vibes. Let's bundle it in a surf community!

Let's bring all these surfer souls together and build something nice! So every surfer who wants to be on the world map, just drop a message down here in the comment section, providing some info on your local spot - and then you'll be in!

I will put all the information together and design a nice SteemSurf World Map. Wham! 🏄

Then we're going to have a nice point from where to start when the community feature is set up by Steemit Inc.

Looking forward!

Have a great one,

Marly -
