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. Surfers' contacts stay inside SurfBooking — never exposed to schools or other surfers.

Your passport, your bookings, your contacts — none of it is shared with other schools without your tap.
Built for surfers

Surf Today — forecast that gets you

Wave height, period, wind, water temp — but tagged by surf level. The same conditions can be a green light for advanced and a no-go for beginners. We do that math for you.

Your privacy is the product

Three hard rules, baked into how the platform works — not a privacy policy promise. A school can NEVER see another school's customers. A school can NEVER pull your phone or email out of SurfBooking. Reviews are public, but your full name and contacts stay private.

Your contactsEmail, phone, NIF — only the school where you actually book gets them. Until then, you're a UUID.
Other surfersReviews are public, but we never expose your full name or contacts to other surfers. Your reviews show 'Maria S.', not the rest.
Health dataAllergies, medical conditions — only checked into the lesson where the instructor needs them. Encrypted at rest.

Frequently asked

Is the app free?

Yes — downloading and using SurfBooking costs you nothing. You only pay when you book a lesson, and the price you see is the price you pay.

Do schools see my email and phone?

Only the school you actually book a lesson with gets your contact info, and only for that booking. No school can search the platform for surfers — that path is closed by design (audited 2026-05-07).

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, with refund tiers based on how close to lesson time. 100% refund if cancelled more than 96h before the lesson, 75% at 48–96h, 50% at 24–48h, no refund under 24h (unless the school cancels for dangerous sea — then you always get 100%).

What if conditions are dangerous?

If the school cancels for safety (red flag, storm, swell over your level), full refund automatically. The system flags weather over your level — schools can also auto-cancel lessons that don't make pedagogical sense for the day.

Can I gift a lesson?

Yes — the Gift Voucher. You pick the school and the lesson or pack, pay, and add a personal message; whoever receives it redeems it with a code. Works as a Christmas / birthday / anniversary gift.
