For surf schools and instructors

    Surf Lesson Booking Software

    Sell lessons by instructor ratio, rent boards with them, and move sessions when the swell changes.

    No monthly platform fee — a 1.5% online booking fee on online bookings.

    What breaks first for surf schools and instructors

    Lesson capacity is really instructor availability.

    Board and wetsuit rentals are tracked separately from the lesson.

    Conditions force sessions to move, not cancel.

    Built for how surf schools and instructors actually operate

    Instructor-driven capacity

    Sessions open only when an instructor is available, at the student-to-instructor ratio you set.

    Gear bundled with the lesson

    Boards and wetsuits are reserved as part of the booking, sized from what the student entered.

    Session moves with notification

    Shift a lesson to a new time and every student is told automatically.

    Everything else that comes with it

    Real-time availability everywhere

    Website widget, phone bookings, kiosk, and partner channels all read and write the same live inventory.

    Payments without an OTA cut

    Take cards directly through Stripe at a 1.5% online booking fee. No per-booking commission on direct sales.

    Digital waivers included

    Waiver Hog waivers are built in, sent with confirmations, and tracked per guest on the manifest.

    Automated guest messaging

    Confirmations, reminders, follow-ups, and review requests fire automatically by email and SMS.

    Staff scheduling and manifests

    Assign staff, publish shifts, and hand every team member a live manifest on their phone.

    Reporting you can act on

    Revenue, occupancy, channel mix, and refunds in one place, exportable whenever you need it.

    Surf Lesson Booking Software: common questions

    Can I cap lessons by instructor ratio?

    Yes. Staffing rules set how many students each instructor can take, which drives the published capacity.

    Can I include board rental in a lesson?

    Yes. Gear is reserved with the booking as an included item or a paid add-on.

    How much does Booking Hog cost?

    Booking Hog charges a 1.5% online booking fee on online bookings. There is no monthly platform fee and no OTA-style commission on your direct sales.

    Can I take bookings on my own website?

    Yes. An embeddable widget drops the full booking flow into any website, and a hosted storefront is available if you do not have one.

    How long does setup take?

    Most operators are live in a day. You build your products, set availability rules, connect Stripe, and paste in the widget.
