Every spot has its own group chat: today's conditions, advice, sessions in the making.

Announce “I'm going in”, others sign up and get a reminder. No more solo sessions.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before joining the community.
What is FindYourSurfBuddy?
FindYourSurfBuddy is the community app for surfers and board-sports riders (surf, windsurf, kitesurf, wing foil). Join the communities of your spots, chat about conditions in each spot's group chat, announce your “I'm going in” sessions, swap your home with fellow surfers and follow board-sports competitions from the inside.
Is the app free?
Yes. A free account lets you join up to 3 spots, chat in their group chats and browse home-exchange listings. The subscription unlocks unlimited spots, hosts' contact details, all listing photos and publishing your own listings.
How do “I'm going in” sessions work?
Any member of a spot announces a session with a time slot. Others sign up in a single tap and get a reminder before it starts — no more solo sessions.
How does the home exchange between surfers work?
You publish a geolocated listing with your dates, the number of beds and the boards included, then swap your home with another member's: zero rent, 100% surf. Contacting hosts is a subscriber feature.
On which platforms is the app available?
The app is available right now in your browser at app.findyoursurfbuddy.com, on iPhone and Android (add it to your home screen to use it like an app). The native iOS version is under review on the App Store. The website is for discovering the product, managing your account and subscribing.
Does the subscription renew automatically?
No. Each payment, secured by Stripe on this website, opens a fixed-length access period — no automatic renewal, no surprises.
Your next session is waiting for you somewhere.
Join the surfers already sharing their spots, their sessions and their homes.
