A surf school or surf shop has problems that generic software doesn't understand: lessons that depend on the sea, board rental by the hour, tourists who arrive one day and leave the next, and a summer you need to make the most of from start to finish. This is how Caranva handles it.
What you can sell
- Group and private courses, with places per session and a price per person.
- Surfboard, wetsuit or paddle board rental by the hour, half day or day.
- Multi-lesson passes and lesson-plus-rental packs.
When the sea doesn't cooperate
If you need to cancel a session, you cancel it from the dashboard and every student gets notified. They get back what they paid online and it costs you nothing, because you hadn't been paid your share yet.
Where the surfers we send you come from
Our websites already appear on the first page of Google for surf and beach searches such as "alquiler paddle surf Oliva", "webcam El Palmar" or "surf forecast Zurriola". Those people are looking for where to surf and where to rent; we send them to you with the booking already made, in their own language.
What it costs
€0 sign-up, €0 a month and no commitment. Just 15% of the bookings that reach you through Caranva. Usually the surfer pays only that commission online and pays you the rest at the school, so you're not waiting for any bank transfer. What you sell on your own is 100% yours.
Three ways to get started
- Send us your rates (a photo is fine) and we set it up in 48 hours. You review it before it goes live.
- We connect your software if you already use Booqable, BRM or an iCal calendar.
- Do it yourself in an afternoon from caranva.app.
Want to try it? Send me your rates (a photo of your price list is fine) at caranvasports@gmail.com and I'll have it set up for you in 48 hours, so you can review it before anything goes live. Or see how it works at caranva.app/para-tiendas.
