Inspiration This is our team's first hackathon so our inspiration just came from getting through our first one.
What it does our project lets our users know whether wind conditions are optimal for surfing. Upon research, we found that wind speeds are what make the best waves.
How we built it using react and called two APIs. One API was the California coastal commission API to get the locations of the beaches located throughout California. The second API was the open weather API to get the wind speed of the beach to determine whether it's a good time to surf.
Challenges we ran into was trying to figure out how node works because we were trying to use the boilerplate code provided. In the end, we decided but to use it at all.
Accomplishments that we're proud of Getting our first hackathon done!
