WhatsApp groups — how it really works

You define the groups inside the OS — beginners, kids, the Saturday regulars — and Surf Booking sends to them: a heads-up about tomorrow's sea, or a campaign, on separate paths because one needs consent and the other does not. We do not create the WhatsApp group for you: you paste your own invite link and we send it to each member. We fill the group; we do not own it.

NEW · SURFBOOKING OS

The same panel, as a desktop.

The day, the sea and the month as widgets. Your tools in an app bar, each one in its own window, open side by side. Change the wallpaper with a right click, like on any computer.

It is not a different product and there is nothing new to learn: inside each window is the panel you already use. One click to switch, one click back.

What Surf Booking is

The intelligent layer of surf — on top of every platform, not against them.

Surf Booking reads the real sea at each spot — wave, wind and tide — and turns it into decisions: the right lesson at the right hour, priced right, filled from every channel you already sell on. You keep your bookings on Booking, Airbnb, GetYourGuide or Viator; Surf Booking unifies them in one panel and adds the intelligence none of them have.

Every channel feeds in. One calendar, coloured by the tide, syncs back out. Cooperation, not competition — the surf world's operating layer.

How much does Surf Booking cost for schools?

Surf Booking is free for schools: 0€/month, no setup fee and no card required. The platform charges only a 20% commission on the bookings Surf Booking brings you — lessons you sell through your own channel pay 0% commission — only the card processing fee applies. The school agent and the forecast tools are included. The Channel Manager isn't paid for in money: it's paid for in lessons. Keep lessons on sale in the Surf Booking marketplace and it's yours, for good. One lesson every six months you work is enough.

How do I get paid?

Payments go through Stripe directly to your school's account. Students pay at booking time; your share is transferred automatically — no invoicing Surf Booking, no waiting for monthly payouts.

New

Direct Bookings — your QR, your customers, no commission

A permanent QR code and link for your school — at the front desk, on Instagram, on your own website. You choose which lessons go on this channel: they never show up in the SurfBooking app or site, and they pay no SurfBooking commission — only the card processing cost, and that is charged AT COST: we advance an estimate and return you the difference. On a €40 lesson you keep at least €38.90 instead of €32.

The marketplace doesn't change: customers we bring you keep paying the usual commission. You only pay commission when we're the ones bringing you the customer. And the two live together: the choice is lesson by lesson, not all or nothing. The ones you leave on sale in the marketplace are the ones that keep your Channel Manager at no cost. And it's the same booking widget you may already have on your site: you don't change a line.

Channel Manager at no cost — just keep lessons on sale with us. No monthly fee · unlimited Same Stripe account you already have Your own partners too

Multi-role platform

Each role sees only what it should

SurfBooking is one platform with three independent surfaces. A school never sees another school's customers. An instructor's CV travels across schools but their reviews stay separated. For surfers who book here, only the school teaching that lesson gets their contacts, never the school next door and never other surfers.

Your customers stay yours. No school ever sees the next school's bookings or contacts.

It’s not the app. It’s this.

Questions every school asks us.

How much does SurfBooking cost my school?

SurfBooking OS is €0/month, always. Commission (20%) applies only to bookings SurfBooking brings you through the marketplace. Your own channel, walk-ups and external calendars: zero commission from us.

What about lessons I sell outside SurfBooking?

They're yours, full stop. Log them if you want (so the calendar and the numbers add up) — you pay nothing for them.

Is there a contract, minimums or lock-in?

No. No credit card, no contract, leave whenever you want. Your data leaves with you.

How many schools use the platform today?

Few — we're new and we won't pretend otherwise. Right now there are 20 founding schools registered, and the product changes with their feedback in days, not quarters. That's exactly why SurfBooking OS is free for the first ones.

Do my current clients become yours?

Never. A client who arrives through your channel is yours: no commission and no SurfBooking between you. We only charge when the demand was ours.

How long until I can sell lessons?

Minutes. Create the account, set your beach and times, and your first lesson can go live the same day.
