FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you get started.

Yes. Browsing spots, schools, and conditions is always free for all surfers. You only pay the school or camp for the lesson you book.

No. The directory and conditions work in any browser. The free app adds the toolkit for when you're at the beach: marine conditions, waypoints, and session tracks.

We seed listings from public data, so many schools and spots are already here, and they can sign up free to keep their listing current.

Partly, and we would rather be straight about which parts. GPS tracking and saved waypoints keep working with no signal, and session data syncs the next time you get a bar. Map tiles you have already loaded stay on screen, but there is no download-this-area button yet, so a stretch of coast you have never opened will not draw. Downloadable maps are on the way.
