## What is Surfmate?

Welcome to the Surfmate Community - where surfers connect. Capture your sessions, discover surf events, and find your next surf buddy.

Capture your surf journey
Log every session with photos, notes, ratings, boards, and conditions. Tag your surf mates so they can copy the session into their own journal. Build your personal surf diary and relive every wave—from your very first ride to your best day ever.

Find surfers nearby
Meet surfers who share your favorite spots, have surfed the same breaks, or are attending the same events. Turn on **Open to Connect** to find surf buddies nearby, control who can discover you, and receive personalized surfer recommendations.

Stay connected
Follow friends, chat 1:1 or in groups, customize your feed, receive notifications when friends log new sessions, and stay connected with your surf community.

Discover surf events
Explore contests, festivals, film tours, community meetups, surf trips, and local events around the world. See events directly on the surf map, join community chats, publish that you'll attend, and connect before you even arrive.

Share live spot checks
Post real-time beach updates with videos and current conditions. Spot Checks are linked to surf spots and disappear automatically after 24 hours.

Organize your surf spots
Forget your Google Maps list. Save your favorite surf spots with tides, wave type, webcam links, photos, and personal notes. Keep spots private, share them only with friends, or discover more than 4,000 surf spots worldwide.

Your surf life, organized
Track the countries you've surfed, collect your favorite spots, build your surfer profile, and keep all your surf memories in one place.

Built around your privacy
Use Surfmate however you like. Keep everything private as your personal surf journal, or become part of a global surf community. You decide what you share and who can discover you.

Your surf memories, favorite spots, surf mates, and surf events — all in one place.

Your Surf. Your Story.
