How SurfSchool runs a surf school.
A booking page your students use from their phone on the beach, payments that land in your school's own account — Stripe worldwide, Mercado Pago with Pix in Brazil, and a dashboard for lessons, coaches, and packages. SurfSchool is subscription-only: Growth $39/month or Pro $79/month after a 30-day free trial, with 0% AYON booking commission. Card payments carry an estimated ~5% processing cost, which varies by card and country.

Software that understands a surf school's reality.
Your booking system shouldn't cost more than your instructors
One flat subscription and zero AYON booking commission — a busy Saturday costs the school the same as a quiet Tuesday, and every booking is the school's.
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 own account
Card checkout with payouts direct to your school's account — Stripe worldwide, Mercado Pago (Pix, cards, instalments) in Brazil. A booking is only marked paid when the provider'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.
AYON Wave · Wave Intelligence
Conditions from AYON Wave inside the manager dashboard and the coach and student apps, so the school sees the day's wave picture next to its bookings. Decision support for operations — not a forecast guarantee.
Plans, pricing, and the full product tour are on SurfSchool: surfschool.app — surf school software.
Straight answers.
What does SurfSchool cost?
After a 30-day free trial, Growth is $39/month and Pro is $79/month (unlimited coaches and bookings). Zero AYON booking commission. Card payments carry an estimated processing cost of about 5%, deducted from the payout. Processing costs vary by card type, country, and payment network.
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. SurfSchool takes 0% AYON booking commission on every booking, online or not. Card payments carry an estimated ~5% processing cost, which varies by card and country; cash and walk-ins carry none.
