- Lessons flagged up to 4 days ahead
- One click to switch beach, or cancel and notify everyone
Not just who's free. Who's right for the lesson.
Every booking is matched to your team by level, availability and workload — then your instructors get an SMS. No 7am group chat, no app to install, no login to remember.
- Skills, certifications and expiry dates tracked
- Time off and working hours respected
- Password-protected calendar link + SMS on every change

Got questions?
Everything you need to know about SurfSlot
How is SurfSlot different from other booking systems?
Most booking systems just take reservations. SurfSlot actually runs your operations—monitoring conditions 24/7, automatically assigning instructors, selecting optimal beaches, and notifying everyone when things change. It's true automation, not just another tool to manage.
How does pricing work?
SurfSlot has no subscription for surf schools. There are no setup fees, no monthly subscriptions and no lock-in contracts. A small SurfSlot booking fee is added at checkout, so SurfSlot only earns when a customer books.
What does 'fully automated' actually mean?
Once you set up your beaches, instructors, and preferences, SurfSlot runs your operations: taking bookings, processing and tracking payments, chasing deposits, sending and tracking digital waivers, assigning instructors based on skills and availability, checking surf conditions every 2 hours, flagging issues up to 4 days ahead, and sending SMS updates to every participant when they book or when a lesson is rescheduled. You only step in for exceptions.
How quickly can I get started?
Setup is straightforward—add your profile, create your products, connect Stripe, add your beaches with their ideal conditions, and import your instructors. Once that's done, you're live. Our onboarding guide walks you through every step, and our team can set everything up for you if you'd prefer.
Does it work for small surf schools?
Absolutely! Whether you're a solo instructor or a 20+ person operation, SurfSlot scales to your needs. Small schools benefit most from automation—it's like having an operations manager working 24/7.
What happens when conditions become dangerous?
SurfSlot monitors conditions against your safety thresholds. When conditions exceed safe limits, you get instant notifications with one-click options to cancel and notify everyone, or switch to a backup beach. No more last-minute scrambles.
How much does it cost?
Nothing up front and nothing in the off-season. There is no subscription, no setup fee and no contract. A SurfSlot booking fee is added to the customer's booking at checkout, so you only pay when you take bookings.
