There was a girl with a dream:
becoming a surfer.
After her first surf session, she tattooed a wave on her back — a promise to sit in the line up one day.
But becoming a surfer was not easy.
No surf friends.
Wrong spot.
10,000 photos.
Over time, the journey got lost — in camera rolls, disappearing stories, and fading memories.
That is why Surfmate exists.
To log every session. To stay connected. To build your own surf story.
Dude, it's amazing!
Surfmate is the first social surf platform to remember every surf, organize your spots, discover surf events and connect with mates around.
Find surfers nearby and see who surfed the same spot recently.
Log sessions with photos, emotions, notes and conditions.
Discover festivals, contests and meetups. Share your plans and connect with others headed to the same event.
Spotchecks show real-time conditions without group chat spam.
Save tides, notes, webcams and personal knowledge in one place.
Your secret spots stay secret. Private means private.
Wow, you thought about everything!

Everything you need to understand Surfmate at a glance.
Surfmate helps you capture every surf that matters. You can log:
You decide. Sessions can stay completely private or be visible to your friends.
Nothing gets exposed. Sessions at secret spots are currently always private, even for your followers. Your spots stay yours.
Surfmate helps you remember:

Forecast integrations are planned for future versions.
A Spotcheck is a quick photo or up to 20-second video from a surf spot that stays visible for 24 hours.
It lets your friends instantly see what the ocean looks like right now, without sharing the same videos across group chats.
Everyone who follows you can see your Spotchecks. They can also enable push notifications to get alerted when you post one.
Spotchecks stay visible for 24 hours. Your own past Spotchecks remain saved in your personal archive.
Surf conditions change fast. Instead of sending the same update to multiple chats, post one Spotcheck and everyone instantly knows what is going on.
Cleaner, faster, and built for surfing.

Log at least one session from every country you have surfed in. Older sessions count too, and you can also log sessions using only the year if you do not remember the exact date.
Nobody. Your Journal is completely private. It is your personal place to relive your surf journey, memories, progression, and favorite sessions over time.
More advanced Journal views and filters are already in development. The goal is to make looking back on your surf life even more immersive and personal.
