Because the surf doesn't run to a timetable

What changes when bookings, waivers, vouchers and payments all go through Intrac.

  • When the surf turns unsafe, someone rings every booked customer before sunrise to move them.
  • Gift vouchers come out of a paper book, and nobody knows which ones have been used.
  • Waivers and medical details get filled in on paper, on the sand, while the group waits.
  • Ten book, six turn up, and the four who didn't haven't paid a cent.
  • Move or cancel the session, then SMS or email everyone on it from the attendance screen.
  • Vouchers sell online and are redeemed with a voucher number and activation code, all in one list.
  • Customers note any medical conditions and sign the waiver online before they can pay.
  • Online bookings are paid at checkout, so a no-show doesn't cost you the lesson fee.

At Manly Surf School, group and private lessons, holiday camps and school groups all depend on the weather. When conditions turn, staff move or cancel a session and every booked customer hears about it at once.

How your surf school runs on Intrac

From setting up each beach to the early morning weather call.

  1. 01

    Set up beaches and lessons

    Add each beach as a location, then set up group lessons, privates, kids' programs and camps with their times, coaches and a cap that matches your ratio.

  2. 02

    Take bookings online

    Customers choose a group lesson, a private or their camp days from your branded portal and pay upfront. The spot is held while they pay, and an emailed receipt follows.

  3. 03

    Roster your casual coaches

    Each lesson and private shows on the roster with its coach. Add extra casuals for January, text everyone their week, and pay follows each coach's task-based rates.

  4. 04

    Make the weather call

    If the surf is unsafe, move the session to another time or beach, or cancel it, then SMS or email everyone booked from the attendance screen.

What is a surf school management system?

A surf school management system takes bookings for lessons, privates, camps and school groups, and keeps the payments, waivers and coach rosters with them. Intrac is a class & facility management system from a team with 50+ years in the game, and it works across one beach or several.

Can I cancel a lesson for bad surf and tell everyone at once?

Yes. Move or cancel the session, then SMS or email everyone booked from its attendance screen. You can text the coaches rostered on it too.

Can customers get a credit instead of a refund?

Yes. Credit the customer's account and they use it on their next booking. If the whole session is called off, one weather process credits everyone booked on it.

Can customers sign a waiver when they book online?

Yes. Your indemnity waiver comes up before checkout, and customers sign it on screen. It's kept on their record with any medical conditions, so staff can check before the lesson.

Can I cap a group lesson at my coach ratio?

Yes. Each session has its own capacity, so a lesson with two coaches stops at the number you set. Once it's full, customers can add themselves to the watch list.

Can I sell gift vouchers online?

Yes. Buyers pick a voucher, add a personal message and pay online, or buy by phone or at the desk. The recipient redeems it with a voucher number and activation code.

Can I run lessons at more than one beach?

Yes. Each beach is its own location with its own lessons and prices, and staff switch between them from one login. Customers choose the beach when they book.

What does Intrac cost a surf school?

Surf schools pay from 1.95% of monthly revenue, with a monthly minimum of $495, plus GST. Support, upgrades and changes are part of the plan, and there's no setup fee to start or lock-in contract to sign.
