Surf school booking software that costs nothing until you get booked.
A booking page your students use from their phone on the beach, payments that land in your own Stripe account, and a dashboard for lessons, coaches, and packages. 5% per confirmed booking — no monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract.

Software that understands a surf school's reality.
Your July shouldn't pay for your February
Surf lessons are seasonal. Fixed-fee software charges you the same €100–400 a month whether it's peak summer or a flat winter. Ocean OS charges per booking — your costs breathe with your season, automatically.
Walk-ups and DMs don't scale
Instagram DMs, WhatsApp threads, and a paper calendar work until the first busy Saturday. A hosted booking page turns "how do I book?" into a paid, confirmed lesson without you touching your phone.
Group logistics eat your morning
Private vs. group pricing, per-person rates, family bookings, coach assignments — the dashboard holds it all, and capacity limits are enforced automatically so a group never oversells.
Everything in one system.
Hosted booking page
One link from your website or Instagram bio. Students pick private or group lessons, pay by card, and get confirmed — no account, no app install.
Payments to your Stripe account
Stripe Checkout with payouts direct to your school's bank. A booking is only marked paid when Stripe's signed webhook confirms it — your calendar never lies.
Instructor scheduling
Assign instructors to lessons, give them their own login, and let them see their day without seeing your revenue.
Lesson packages
Sell 3, 5, or 10-lesson packs online and track redemptions automatically — no more punch cards.
One dashboard
Bookings, payment status, students, coaches, packages — from any browser, phone included.
Built by ocean people
Ocean OS comes from the team behind AYON Wave and AYON Wind — live surf and wind intelligence riders use daily. Conditions-aware scheduling is on the roadmap as a native capability, not a weather-API bolt-on.

Straight answers.
What does surf school booking software cost with Ocean OS?
5% per confirmed online booking. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract. A school that takes no bookings pays nothing — which matters when your season is four months long. Standard Stripe card-processing fees apply, as on every platform.
Can students book from their phone?
Yes — the hosted booking page is built mobile-first. Most surf lesson bookings happen on a phone, often the same day.
Does it handle group lessons and families?
Yes. Services can be priced fixed or per-person, with participant counts, and capacity is enforced server-side so a slot can't oversell.
How do I add it to my website?
Point any "Book now" button at your school's booking link. Works on Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, or hand-written HTML. Surfiscool Surf School in Huntington Beach runs it on their live site today.
Do you take a cut of walk-in or cash bookings?
No. The 5% applies to online card bookings processed through the platform. Your cash business stays yours.
