Tired of juggling surf lessons, payments, and scheduling headaches?

Surf schools face many problems when it comes to booking and managing lessons. Sometimes you’re out in the water and miss a new reservation. Other times, you might double-book a class or forget to send waivers. It can be overwhelming to keep track of every student, every payment, and every time slot. If the ocean conditions change, you need a simple way to cancel or reschedule without leaving anyone confused. These daily struggles slow you down and take away from the joy of teaching people how to surf.

With Roverd, you can handle all these tasks in one easy system that fits your surf school perfectly.

Key Benefits

Automate Bookings

Roverd lets your surf school accept bookings day and night. Students can see open lesson times and book directly, even when you’re out in the water. You won’t waste time on the phone confirming details. This helps you focus on teaching, not scheduling.

Streamline Payments

Collect payments online through trusted gateways like Stripe or PayPal. Your students can pay in advance, which helps you avoid no-shows and manage your cash flow better. You also reduce the hassle of handling physical money or chasing unpaid invoices.

Easy Cancellations

If weather conditions get rough, you can quickly cancel or reschedule all your surf lessons with just a few clicks. Students receive automated notifications about changes. You can also set clear refund rules so that everyone knows the policy, minimizing confusion.

Full Control

Take charge of your classes, pricing, and staff schedules. Roverd’s toolset is easy to learn, so you have everything you need to manage your school efficiently. You can decide who handles bookings, how to set up special group deals, and more, all in a single dashboard.

From Scheduling Chaos to Smooth Sailing: Real-Life Scenarios

Juggling Lesson Requests and a Messy Calendar

Before Roverd

Your phone rings constantly with booking requests while you’re coaching a student in the water. Back on shore, you’re deciphering voicemails and scribbling notes into a paper calendar, trying to avoid double bookings. Managing your availability for private lessons, group surf lessons, and multi-day surf courses is a manual, time-consuming process that often leads to scheduling conflicts and missed opportunities.

After Roverd

Your website is equipped with a powerful booking engine. This surf lesson scheduler shows real-time availability 24/7, allowing students to book and pay for their spot without a phone call. The online booking system automatically updates your calendar—which you can sync with Google Calendar—and prevents any chance of double bookings. You’ve moved from messy calendar management to a streamlined, automated workflow, giving you more time to focus on teaching.

The Pre-Lesson Paperwork Pile-Up

Before Roverd

Check-in is a chaotic scramble on the sand. You’re chasing down cash payments, trying to make change, and handing out clipboards with paper liability waivers that get damp and sandy. No-shows are a constant problem because there’s no deposit, directly hurting your cash flow. Your client intake forms are a disorganized pile of paper.

After Roverd

Roverd’s reservation system transforms your check-in. Students complete online liability waivers during the booking process, and secure online payments are handled upfront via our Stripe integration. This drastically reduces no-shows and improves your financial reporting. At the beach, you use the simple QR code check-in feature for instant verification, getting students into the water faster and creating a professional customer experience.

Aligning Instructors, Lessons, and Equipment

Before Roverd

Coordinating your team is a constant back-and-forth on WhatsApp. You’re manually assigning instructors to lessons and hoping you have enough surfboards and wetsuits for the day's group bookings. Without a central instructor scheduling tool, it’s hard to manage time off or see who is available, making resource management a daily challenge.

After Roverd

Roverd acts as your central operations management hub. The staff management module includes an instructor portal where your team can view their schedules and assigned classes. You can set user permissions to control who manages what. The system also functions as surfboard rental software, tracking your rental inventory so you never run out of gear. It's the perfect scheduling software for the entire surf school.

Expanding Your Reach Beyond the Beach

Before Roverd

You rely on word-of-mouth and maybe a few informal handshake deals with local hotels. Tracking commissions from these partners is a messy spreadsheet task, and they have no way of knowing your live availability without calling you. Growing your business feels slow and limited.

After Roverd

With Roverd’s reseller management features, you can build a powerful partner network. Hotels, hostels, and local tour agents get access to a dedicated agent portal where they can see your availability calendar and make direct bookings for their guests. The activity booking software automatically handles all commission tracking, providing clear sales reports. This channel manager functionality helps you tap into new sales channels, integrate with OTAs like Viator, and accelerate your business growth.

Boost Your Sales with Easy Online Payments

Roverd gives your surf students a flexible way to pay, so they’re more likely to complete bookings and show up on time.
