The marketing effect for you as a listed provider in our surf trip planner is worth gold and you can receive many new customer inquiries via the StokedSurf portal. Thus, the service fee charged by us is ridiculously low compared to this valuable marketing effect.

And we want to keep the annual fee for each provider listing as low as possible, so that also the smaller providers can afford it and can keep their provider listing with us in the surftrip-planner.

  • surf shop listing = 49 € / Year
  • surf bar or restaurant listing = 49 € / Year

The payment can be done by normal bank transfer or by Paypal. Of course you will receive a written invoice in order to post the costs as advertising costs for your company.

How do I create my provider listing?

Once you have registered a provider business-account, you can log in with your business-account data via the login button.

After the successful login with your provider business-account you will see in the upper right corner a small new settings-button (provider settings). By clicking on this button you will get to the settings page of your provider account. Here you can edit your account details, create a new listing, or edit your existing listing.

Why is my new listing not online yet?

Unfortunately some providers tried to take advantage of our confidence in advance, and after creating and activating the listing, they did not pay the small annual fee for our service. So unfortunately we had to change the system.

Just for this reason, the listing is only released (set online) after the receipt of payment. We get an automatic email notification about the receipt of payment and then we immediately release the corresponding provider listing and place it online.

How can i update the details and pictures of my listing?

Each provider has their own business account on our website and can use this to edit their own listing as needed and update it independently at any time.

To edit/update your listing as a provider, please proceed as follows:

  1. Log in to the website with your business account.
  2. After logging in, you will automatically land on your personal account page where you can see and edit the listings you have already created.
  3. Now simply click on the “Edit” link that appears next to the listing you want to edit.
  4. Now make the desired changes and then click “Save” at the bottom.
  5. Great, that's it! You have now successfully updated your listing. Please note that the changes you have made will only be visible on the website once the website cache has been automatically renewed after 1-2 hours.
I would like to edit my already EXISTING provider listing, but I am not registered yet!

Due to past promo-campaigns, it may be that we have already created a provider entry for certain providers in our system. In this case, you're in luck because we've already done this work for you.

If you now want to edit your already existing provider listing but have not yet registered a providers business-account with us, please proceed as follows:

  1. Register a business-account as a provider using the following link: Register as a Provider

  2. Wait for some hours or max for one day until your new providers business-account is automatically linked with your already existing provider listing. You will also receive a confirmation email from us, if this is done. Now you can log in with your login data at the top right with the login button.

  3. After successful login (with your business account) you can see a little settings-button in the upper right corner of the website. Click at this settings-button to go to your personal provider-settings-page. Here you will find all your options as well as the link for editing your existing provider listing.

IMPORTANT:
Please do NOT simply create a second same listing (duplicate), because it wont be released by us, if the corresponding provider with e.g. the same surfcamp already has a listing in the system.

How does the search of the surftrip-planner work?

Our online-tool "Surftrip-Planner" is made for surfers who are searching for the best surfcamp or surfhouse fitting their needs.

On the "surftrip-planner" page, users can search for providers in a specific country and also find the results according to the provider filter "surfcamp", "surfhouse", "surfshop", "surf-camper rental", "surf-bar". The Tool also provides many additional filter options like the surf-level, surf season, free wifi, yoga, airport transfer,... to simplify the users search.

All provider listings are also displayed on a large map and can be clicked directly over the various markers on the map.

Each provider listing also has its own detail page, where users can read all information about the provider and can get to the providers website for booking. This detail page is linked both from the big map and from the search result lists.

How is the list order of the provider listings done?

The order of the displayed provider listings in all the lists of the surf trip planner is created at random. This ensures that all providers are treated equal and will be shown sometimes further up and sometimes further down in the lists. Because we do NOT want a paid order as in other portals, where only the providers with paid extra option sit generally at the top of the lists and the other providers are disadvantaged. We want our users to see the whole variety of all providers.

Update interval of the listing order:

The displayed random order of the provider listings in the surf trip planner (with large map) changes with each single page view.

The displayed random order of the provider listings on the start page always updates with the automatic renewal of the website cache. The website cache is renewed automatically every 1-2 hours, and thus every time the random order of the displayed provider listings.

What language should i choose for my provider listing?

All contents of this website, as well as all provider listings are available in german and english language.

Simply write your provider listing in your language and it will be translated into the other language (e.g. english) by us one time for free.

This first translation of your description and details is free and inclusive. Any further subsequent translation can eihter be done by yourself with your business-account, or can be ordered by request and at a small aditional service charge.
