Your local knowledge, booked.
Instructors, schools, coaches, rental shops, photographers and guides: put your work in front of surfers while they're planning the trip.
Only when you're paid
Large activity agencies often take 20–30%. No sign-up cost and no monthly fee here.
Paid before the session
You accept, the customer pays through Stripe, then you teach. Stripe pays you after you mark it complete.
On the guides surfers read
Your listing appears on the destination guide for your area, next to its surf climate and breaks.
Reviews that count
Only customers who booked and completed a session get a Verified review, and you can reply to each one.

Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing to join, and no monthly fee. When a customer pays for a booking, we keep 10% and you get the rest.
When do I get paid?
Stripe sends your share after you mark the session as complete. Customers pay after you accept, so you never hold a slot for someone who has not paid.
Who sets prices and terms?
You do: your own prices, group sizes, sessions and cancellation policy. The policy you choose is shown before anyone books.
Can I still take my own customers?
Of course. Only bookings made through Book & Surf carry a commission.
What do you check?
We review every profile and listing by hand before it goes live. Upload your instructor certificate, first aid and insurance to earn a Verified badge. Listings for children need a checked safeguarding certificate.
Where can I sell?
Bookings open first in Ericeira, Peniche, Bundoran. In Taghazout, Canggu, Uluwatu, Weligama, Tamarindo, you can register now. We can't pay sellers there through Stripe yet, so those sellers go on our waiting list.
