How Best Surf works

The money side of this site, in plain words.

  • Listed schools pay an annual fee for exclusivity in their zone.
  • When you book through Best Surf we receive a commission, which is the deposit you pay here. Your total is the same as booking direct, and the deposit comes off what you pay the school.
  • One of us works professionally in surf marketing in Portugal, and some listed schools are or have been clients of that business.
  • Paying does not buy a listing. Every school must meet every requirement on how we choose. We turn down schools that offer to pay and do not qualify, and we remove schools that stop qualifying.
  • Zones with no school listed are zones where nobody has met the bar yet, or where we have not finished checking.
