Business Community
Running a surf business can be lonely. The Surfyx business community exists so operators can trade experience, give feedback on the product, and help each other succeed.
What the community is for
The Surfyx business community is a place for people running surf-related businesses — schools, instructors, shops, photographers, and shapers — to:
- Share what's working and what isn't.
- Trade practical operations tips (scheduling, insurance, seasonal staffing, pricing, marketing).
- Give feedback on the Surfyx product so we build the tools you actually need.
- Support new businesses getting started on the platform.
- Plan meetups, local collaborations, and business-to-business partnerships.
Community guidelines
Be direct and respectful
Good feedback is direct. It's also kind. Other operators are running their own businesses with their own constraints — give advice, don't lecture. Ask questions, don't assume.
No poaching, no scraping
Don't use the community to actively recruit other operators' staff, copy their listings, or scrape their pricing. Healthy competition is expected; bad-faith behaviour is not.
Keep customer details private
Don't share student names, photos, payment details, or booking data in public community channels. If you need to discuss a difficult customer situation, bring it to Surfyx support directly.
Follow local laws
Business advice shared in the community is informational, not legal counsel. Always comply with the laws of the country and region where you operate.
Product feedback
One of the most valuable things the business community does is tell us what's broken and what's missing. We read every piece of feedback and prioritise fixes based on impact, not volume. If a small school has a problem that would affect every other small school, we want to know.
The best place to send feedback is the contact page or your support channel inside the Surfyx business dashboard.
How to join
We currently run the business community through direct channels with registered Surfyx businesses — a mix of email, occasional workshops, and regional meetups. To get added:
- Make sure your Surfyx business account is set up and your profile is live.
- Let us know you want to be involved via the contact page. Mention the type of business you run and where you're based.
- We'll add you to the right channels and invite you to any relevant upcoming events.
