I curated 500 YouTube daily surfing videos, organised by date and break
I built this site just because I wanted it to exist. I'm a keen surfer who lives near one of the worlds surfing epicenters; the Gold Coast, Australia. Getting home from a surf I'd often get excited seeing videos on YouTube of the breaks and waves I'd surfed that day.

I Built a Site That Curates Weird YouTube Rabbit Holes Daily2025 · yourabbit.com · ▲59I built Yourabbit.com — a site that curates hand-picked YouTube rabbit holes grouped by themes like quirky psychology, obscure tech, weird facts, and binge-worthy oddities.
