Made for lessons that depend on the sea.
Weather calls
Flat or stormy: pick the morning and the beach, move or cancel every lesson at once, and every student is told in their language.
Board and wetsuit rental
Add a board or a wetsuit to the booking, with sizes and a stock count, so the same board is never out twice.
Waivers signed before the beach
Students sign online before their first lesson, a parent signs for a minor, and you see who signed on the roster.
What gets in the way, and what changes.
The everyday problems we hear from surf schools, and how elastudio handles each one.
The problemWith elastudio
The problem: Marketplaces keep 20 to 30% of every lesson they sell.
With elastudio: Your own booking page on a flat monthly plan, with no commission. Keep the marketplaces for discovery if you like, and take returning students direct.
The problem: Tourists ask on WhatsApp, in three languages, at all hours.
With elastudio: Send one link. It opens the lesson with the spots left, and they book and pay on their own, in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
The problem: Visitors from Argentina and Chile who read Spanish first.
With elastudio: Booking pages and e-mails in Spanish too, each student in the language they choose.
The problem: The wind turns and twenty students need a message.
With elastudio: Pick the morning and the beach, move or cancel every lesson in it, and everyone booked gets an e-mail in their language.
The problem: Boards and wetsuits tracked on a whiteboard.
With elastudio: Rental items with sizes and stock, added to the booking and shown on the roster at check-in.
The problem: Paper waivers, wet and lost.
With elastudio: Students sign online before the first lesson, and each signature is kept with its version and time.

Questions people ask
What happens to bookings when I call off a lesson for the weather?
You choose: move the lessons to a new time, where bookings carry over and anyone can cancel with no late fee, or cancel them, and credits go back or paid bookings are refunded, as you prefer.
How do tourists pay?
By card from any country, on a secure Stripe page, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The money goes straight to your own Stripe account.
Does elastudio take a percentage of my sales?
No. On every plan, including Free, elastudio takes nothing from your sales. Your students pay you through your own Stripe account, and you pay Stripe its processing fees directly, as you would anywhere.
Do my students need to download an app?
No. They book on your booking pages or inside your own website, and can add yours to their home screen as an app with your name and logo.
Are the plans different for my kind of business?
No. Every business has the same plans and prices. Start on Free with no time limit and move up when you need more rooms, staff logins or features.
