The Surf Intelligence Layer

The surf intelligence layer the industry was missing.

The sea forecast per beach, SB ratios, beach by-law warnings, Kai, progression packs, an instructor CV that moves from school to school, and lessons that only run with enough students, with the money refunded if not. Six disciplines, made only for surf.

SurfBooking brings surf schools, surfers and instructors together in one place. Schools use the SurfBooking OS for free, at €0/month; surfers find lessons and see the sea at each beach for their level; instructors have a CV they take from school to school and see their schedule. The assistant is called Kai.

The six pillars

Each one is a page. All of them, together, are the layer.

The wave you actually surf

Forecast at the Peak

Combines several sources and reads each beach with its own exposure and tide. The 0-10 score is for the wave at the peak, not the offshore reading, and comes with a confidence indicator. We have not yet measured its error against observations at sea.

Compliance baked in

SurfBooking Ratios + Beach Rules

1:6 beginner · 1:8 intermediate · 1:4 kids · 1:4 private (SB ratios, set by us). A beach by-law warning when two or more instructors share a lesson. A lesson that does not reach its minimum of students is cancelled on its own and the money is refunded, with no chasing.

Curve from beginner to advanced

Progression Packs

Multi-lesson packs built for you, with a real progression curve. Kai suggests 4 lessons by default and names each one after its technical milestone: base, technique, control, manoeuvres.

Packs feature
Portable CV across schools

Instructor Marketplace

A neutral catalogue: instructors publish their own credentials (FPS / ISA / Grau I-III), schools review and decide. SurfBooking hosts the page and never certifies or vouches for any individual. CV stays portable across schools.

Kai

Understands everyday Portuguese and gets the maths of repeating lessons right (4.33 weeks per month, never 5). Follows the public Constitution. Before every version, it is tested against attempts to trick it, to show money to the wrong person and to promise refunds.

What makes it intelligent

Not six features. One intelligence underneath.

A forecast brain that reads each beach on its own terms: the wave you'll actually catch, not the offshore reading. A gear engine that matches equipment to the real sea, per person. A public Constitution that governs every AI decision. The pillars are what you see; this is what makes them think.

Connect SurfBooking to ChatGPT or Claude

Add SurfBooking as a connector and ask in your usual chat. The answer comes from SurfBooking data.

Surfers

Ask where to surf today, how the sea is at a beach or which lesson suits your level. Read-only: to book, you get the link and pay on SurfBooking.

Schools

The owner signs in with the school account and sees lessons, bookings and the sea. Anything that changes something arrives as a proposal and only happens when you confirm it in the SurfBooking OS.

Instructors

Each instructor signs in with their own account and sees their lessons, schedule and the sea for those lessons.
