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 the platforms you already sell on; Surf Booking brings them into one panel and adds the intelligence none of them have.

Bring lessons from connected channels into one calendar, coloured by the tide. Synchronisation depends on what each connection supports.

Three things to see first

It’s not the app. It’s this.

Before you scroll to the list, look at these three.

01Only hereIG · Story · WhatsApp · Flyer

Shareable posters everywhere

Every lesson auto-generates posters in 6 formats: Instagram Post, Story, Facebook, WhatsApp, X, printable A4. Customer scans the QR and pays. No app, no account. You sell everywhere, not just inside SurfBooking.

Live on the platform since day one. Most schools still don’t know.

02Walk-upNo app

Express QR on the beach

Tourist walks up, scans the QR on your sign, pays the lesson. No app install, no account. Equipment, level and time pre-filled. Built for the summer-street season.

No SurfBooking commission on walk-ups — only the bank's processing cost.

Real app screen: the surfer's passport, with the number, the member year and the first stamp
03Across schools

Progress Passport cross-school

Your students carry a progress passport with them. Take-offs, first wave, bottom-turns — all stamped by you. Works across schools. The surfer comes back instead of testing competitors.

  • ✓ Take-off
  • ✓ 1st wave
  • ✓ Bottom turn
  • Cutback
  • Floater

Builds an emotional bond. Loyalty beats any discount.

Pricing

Simple and transparent.

Zero surprises. Zero hidden monthly fees.

€0/month. 20% only on the bookings SurfBooking brings you; on your own channel SurfBooking takes 0% and you only pay the payment processor's fee.

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. As long as you keep lessons on sale in the Surf Booking marketplace, you pay nothing for it. One lesson every six months you work is enough.

How do I get paid?

Payments go 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 where each lesson goes: this channel only, the marketplace only, or both with the same places. The ones on this channel only don't show up in the SurfBooking app or site; and every booking that comes in through this channel pays 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 same 20%. 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.

What a school pays

The school is the real free surfer.

No contract. No minimums. No lock-in. Connect your payments account and start selling. The Channel Manager isn't paid for in money: it's paid for in lessons. As long as you keep lessons on sale in the Surf Booking marketplace, you pay nothing for it. One lesson every six months you work is enough. Sell on the marketplace only if you want to — a clear 20% commission on those sales. Sell elsewhere? Zero commission. It's your school, your pace.

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.

Straight answers

Questions every school asks us.

How much does SurfBooking cost my school?

SurfBooking OS is €0/month. 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 22 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?

Creating the account takes a few minutes. We review the school and, once it is approved, you create your first lesson in the panel and connect payments to put it on sale. We show you what is missing at each step.

What's new in SurfBooking OS 2.0?

The desktop got quicker to use: the dock peeks at each window and the mosaic shows them all side by side; there is a widget gallery with previews; drop or paste a customer's message and Kai opens the lesson form already filled in; external lesson series are checked for clashes before they are created; The Day shows the sea hour by hour from 07:00 to 20:00; the Control Centre keeps today's notices; and in Appearance you pick the glass, the colour and the corners.
