Surf schools booking software

Commission-free booking software for Surf schools operators who take bookings over WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Turn every enquiry into a ready-to-confirm booking — one flat monthly price, 0% commission.

Surf schools book around tides and conditions, and confirm most lessons in an Instagram DM the day before. Retveno keeps that flow and adds the board and wetsuit details your instructors need.

Keep your channels — lose the admin

Your DMs become bookings — automatically

Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.

Commission-free

Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.

WhatsApp reminders

Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.

Your enquiries become bookings — automatically

Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger once and every booking conversation turns into a pending booking with the customer name, dates, group size and contact details already filled in. Review and tap confirm — no copy-paste, no marketplace, nothing new for your guests to learn. Not a channel we connect to yet? Paste a screenshot and Retveno reads it into a draft booking.

Capture the details Surf schools actually needs

Generic booking forms don't fit adventure activities. Board volume and wetsuit sizing come straight from a surfer’s level, height and weight, and the session time comes from the tide — all of it worth capturing at booking. Retveno lets you define your own custom fields per tour — for example level, height and weight, board size, wetsuit size — so every booking captures exactly what you need to run the trip safely.

How Surf schools actually runs

Surf lessons are scheduled by the tide, not by the working day, which means the timetable moves roughly an hour later each day and no two weeks look alike. Most confirmations happen the evening before, once the forecast is worth trusting.

What a half-filled booking costs you

Board volume follows height and weight, and wetsuit sizing follows the same numbers. A school that does not have them before the van is loaded either carries the whole rack or sends someone out on the wrong board — and the first lesson is where a beginner decides whether they will ever come back.

Keep 100% of every booking

Marketplaces take a commission or per-booking fee on sales you sourced yourself. Retveno is a flat monthly subscription with 0% commission — bring the customers over your own channels and keep every euro. Collect deposits with a one-click Stripe link and cut no-shows with automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders.

Frequently asked questions

My start times move with the tide — can the system handle that?

Yes. Scheduled departures are set individually rather than on a fixed weekly pattern, so each day's lesson can start when the tide says it should and guests book against the real time.

Do I have to change how I take bookings?

No. Keep taking bookings on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger exactly as you do today. Connect your channels once and booking messages turn into ready-to-confirm bookings automatically.

Can I capture Surf schools-specific details?

Yes. Define your own custom fields per tour so each booking captures exactly the safety and logistics details your activity needs — not a one-size-fits-all form.

Is it really commission-free?

Yes. One flat monthly price — no commission and no per-booking fee. Every booking stays 100% yours.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Start free with no credit card required, upgrade when you're ready, and cancel anytime — your data always stays yours.
