After the Swell Party

More cameras, more coastline

You raised the money, we bought the gear, and you told us where you want it. Now we're finding the right place to mount Cam #2.

The vote

North came out on top with 40% of the votes.

Cam 1 already covers the central beach at Paradise, so a camera up north serves the 71% of you who voted North or Central.

The plan, north to south

We'll name each venue once an agreement is signed.

↑ North

  1. Partner camera

    Coming soon

    A surf school about 3 km north is setting up its own camera to join the network.

  2. Cam #2

    Finding a host

    The northern stretch, up the beach from Paradise. Bought and ready to go, waiting on a host.

  3. Cam 1

    Live

    Paradise Beach Bar on My Khe, live every day from sunrise to sunset.

  4. Further south

    Future

    Next on the list. Plenty of you asked for it, and we heard you.

↓ South

Join the network

We're looking for an official partner to host Cam #2, and we welcome venues that want to bring a camera of their own.

Host Cam #2

We bring the camera and look after it. You give it a home.

  • A spot up high, around 3–4 floors, facing the waves
  • One wall socket: it uses about as much power as a light bulb
  • No changes to the building, and we take it down if you ever ask

Bring your own camera

You buy and own the gear. We put your stream on the site.

  • Advice on gear before you buy, so it works the first time
  • The same setup we use: a weatherproof camera streaming straight to YouTube
  • Your stream on danangsurfcam.com, next to ours

Every partner gets their name and logo on the site, a link to their business, and visitor stats.

Where the money goes

12,126,000 ₫

Every dong raised goes to Cam #2: the camera, 4G router and mounting kit (all bought), plus its first year of mobile data and website hosting, with the rest set aside for repairs. Nobody keeps any of it.

Partner cameras are paid for by their hosts. None of the Swell Party money goes to them.

What's next

Once Cam #2 is up, the south is next. Every donation brings the next camera closer.
