#SURFING - A Dubliner's iPhone app created to teach children about the ocean is making waves on both sides of the pond.
As Silicon Republic reports, the interactive app is the brainchild of surfing fan Shane Janssens, based on the Walter The Wandering Wave character he created to educate children about waves and their origins.
Devised after his move to Canada, Walter first appeared in a children's book developed by Janssens for his own company Belly of Fire Publishing before making the leap to the mobile realm.
"My idea was if waves could talk what amazing adventures they would share with us and what great friends they would meet along the way," he says.

About J Class Yachts

The J Class has its roots in the oldest sporting race in the world, The America’s Cup.

The founding of the J Class Association (JCA) in 2000 to protect the interests of the Class, present and future, accelerated a real revival. 

Class Rules were established for the construction of replica rebuilds from original plans and several replicas and original designs were subsequently built. 

The class, which today comprises nine boats, now has an annual calendar highlighted by the Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing seasons.
