For Hosts
How it Works for Hosts
Welcome to the Surfaway Hosting Community!
As a Surfaway host, you list your place and post the roles you need filled — volunteer exchanges or paid positions — from reception and kitchen to surf coaching and content. Hosting with Surfaway connects you with travelers looking to live and work at authentic surf destinations.
1
Create Your Host Profile
- Sign up on Surfaway and set up your place.
- Describe your location, surf scene, and accommodation type (e.g., guest room, surf house).
- Post one or more opportunities — each as a volunteer exchange or a paid role — with the perks or compensation you offer.
2
Match with Travelers
- Travelers browse your opportunities based on location, role, and type.
- You receive applications, review them, and respond directly.
- Communicate expectations clearly before confirming.
3
Host with Transparency
- Agree on dates, the role and its perks or pay, and any house rules.
- Provide travelers with surf tips, safety guidance, and local insights.
- Enjoy the cultural exchange and shared surf experiences.
4
Post-Stay Feedback
- After each stay, both hosts and guests can leave reviews to help grow trust within the community.
- Consistent positive feedback improves visibility for your listing.
Surfaway Philosophy: Surfaway is built on mutual respect and cultural exchange, hosts and travelers alike contribute to a vibrant global surf community.
