They added a Surfline channel last October, so a whole slew of non-technical surfers have started using it to get surf alerts. Granted, that is just one audience, but it is something that people are using it for.

[Why Surfline doesn't provide alerts directly is another conversation]

Yes.. us mortals want results. I personally don't care what script,API,recipe is used as long as the end result is the desired effect.
