WIZARD · 3 STEPS

Create a lesson

Saturday's session starts in a notebook, travels through WhatsApp, and only really exists once somebody types it into a computer again.

A three-step wizard: the essentials, the details, then a summary before you publish. It pre-fills gear sizes and advises the SurfBooking ratio for you.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps.

Essentials — beach, date, level, price, capacity
The five fields that define the lesson. The level (beginner / intermediate / advanced / kids / private) sets the maximum students-per-instructor ratio (SurfBooking ratio), and the forecast is then read through that level's lens. Capacity is the booking ceiling; if you exceed the ratio for the level, the wizard warns you.
Details — instructor, type, gear, meeting point
The instructor is optional: leave it blank and the lesson becomes 'anyone on the team' — assign someone before the lesson, or don't. Gear auto-suggests wetsuit and board sizes from each student's weight and height. You set the meeting point on the beach, requirements, minors policy and — if you want — make the lesson conditional (auto-cancels and refunds everyone if the minimum isn't met 2h before).
Summary — review and publish
A final card with everything. Here's the part that trips people up: without your payments account connected, the lesson stays an invisible draft to students — you created it, but it isn't on sale. Connect it once and all lessons become visible. For a whole series (every Tuesday and Thursday, say) use 'Create series' instead of repeating the wizard.
