Lesson booking
By level and location.
Surf school lesson booking by tide & level
Surf schools: lessons booked around the tide. Levels, boards and waivers sorted.
Lessons booked by DM, waivers on clipboards and weather cancellations sent one by one. We build lesson booking systems for surf schools.
Looking for surf school booking software?
Surf lessons depend on tide, level and weather. We build booking systems that schedule around conditions and handle waivers online.
Wollopit builds enrolment systems, parent and student portals, booking tools and websites for surf schools around how you actually teach and run things. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can spend more time teaching and less time on admin.

Websites for surf schools
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your surf school: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things surf schools ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can groups and schools book together?
Yes. Group and school bookings can be made with one contact.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your surf school. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can families pay and enrol online?
Yes. Enrolments, payments, payment plans, sibling discounts and reminders can all run online without anyone chasing them.
How do you handle children's information?
Carefully. Access is restricted to the people who need it, connections are encrypted and we only collect what's actually needed, following the Australian Privacy Principles.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most surf schools we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
