The short version
Some links on Surfstore.com are affiliate links. If you click one and book a surf camp or trip, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This is how we fund first-hand camp visits and keep all content free.
How it works
Buttons labelled "Check availability" lead to booking partners such as surf camp platforms and direct camp partners. If you complete a booking, the partner pays us a percentage of the booking value (typically 8–12%). You pay exactly the same price as booking directly through that platform.
Gear and product links
Buttons labelled "Check Price" or "View on Amazon" in our gear guides lead to retailers. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Gear picks are based on research into specs, construction and owner feedback; where we have not used a product ourselves, we do not claim to have tested it.
What it does not change
- Ratings and rankings are decided before any commercial discussion takes place.
- We review camps we visited regardless of whether an affiliate program exists.
- Negative observations stay in reviews even for paying partners — see the "Worth knowing" section on every camp page.
Editorial independence
Partners cannot buy a higher rating, remove criticism or commission a review. If a stay was provided free or discounted for review purposes, we disclose it on the specific review page.
