What It Is

Surf Coach Manager is an online management platform for surf training. It is designed to collect athletes’ physical, technical, tactical, psychological, and competition data, while supporting training plans, remote tracking, video analysis, event simulation, and virtual competitions. Its target users include surf coaches, sports federations, surf schools, athletes, and related organizations. It can also be extended to disciplines such as Longboard, Sup Surf, Sup Race, and Para Surf.

Core Capabilities

The platform’s core value lies in structuring the surf training process. Coaches can create digital athlete profiles and record information such as name, date of birth, discipline, region, email, coach, and competitive results. Annual plans and calendars can be used to schedule competitions, physical and technical training, rest periods, and medical assessments. The video analysis module supports pause, speed adjustment, line drawing, recording analysis sessions, comparison with reference videos, and single-wave scoring, and can generate internal rankings. Its offline beach data collection interface is useful for training environments where on-site connectivity is unstable. The metrics system covers surfing maneuvers such as Bottom, Snap, Re-entry, Floater, Carve, and Aéreos, as well as tactical variables including wave speed, power, maneuver variety, priority usage, positioning, and wave selection.

Pricing and Plans

Pricing is based on annual subscriptions. Inicial costs USD 200/year and supports 1 coach, 15 athletes, 2GB of storage, and 1 training project. Pro costs USD 300/year and increases the limits to 30 athletes, 5GB of storage, and 3 training projects, while also including championship platform capabilities and email/video meeting support. Premium costs USD 450/year and supports 50 athletes, 10GB of storage, and 6 training projects. The organization plan is quoted on request and provides multiple coaches, team grouping, attendance tracking, internal rankings, guest accounts, and unlimited event simulations.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its highly focused vertical use case and the closed loop it builds around surf training, video feedback, metric tracking, and athlete comparison. It also supports both remote training and offline data collection in the field. The drawbacks are that the website does not disclose information about a free trial, API access, device integrations, encryption, or compliance certifications. In addition, the coach plans all include only 1 coach account; multi-coach collaboration requires the organization plan.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Surf Coach Manager is suitable for professional surf coaches, small surf schools, sports teams, and federations that need to track athlete performance over the long term. It is less suitable for general sports teams or organizations requiring complex enterprise-level integrations. Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the available information. Payment mentions Paddle, so cross-border payment availability and invoice compliance should be confirmed separately. If access or payment is restricted, alternatives include Hudl, Dartfish, CoachNow, or a lightweight setup using Feishu/WeCom spreadsheets plus cloud video storage.
