Surfpreneurs CIRCLE
Make faster progress alongside other founders working in the surf industry
Leading a surf business is easier when you’re not doing it alone.
Built on our global community of over 900 Surfpreneurs, Circle is where those connections go deeper to change the trajectory of your business.
“What you’ve built here is huge for Surfpreneurs. This group is the kind of space where we all get better—sharing real experiences, honest advice, and solid connections.“
Jim Habig, Founder of International Surf properties
What is Surfpreneurs Circle?
Surfpreneurs Circle is a dedicated space for founders and operators building surf and lifestyle businesses. It is where you will make faster progress, better decisions, and solve problems that stop you from second guessing yourself.
Surfpreneurs Circle exists because commitment changes behaviour. If you want to build your business alongside others who are actively doing the same, we’d love to have you inside.
What Our members have to say, who are already inside
“For us, Surfpreneurs felt like that moment when you’re learning to surf, laying on your board, and your coach is right behind you in the water, giving you the push you need to catch the wave. So, thanks a lot for the push, Surfpreneurs!“
— Pierre & Filipa, Wander Desk
"Surfpreneurs has been awesome…I’ve connected with other founders who understand the ups and downs of running a surf-related business.... Getting direct feedback on my challenges from people who’ve been there before has been epic.”
— Kieran Sammon, EXIT
“Stoked to be in the group so that these types of conversations / connections can be facilitated. If you’re reading this and keen to chat, I’m happy to jump on a call and talk about software stuff / running a surf school / or just a general blether! Cheers”
— Adam El, Swellbase.io, Blue Coast

Your Questions, Answered
-
Circle gives us a dedicated home designed for community: searchable member profiles, organized discussions, event spaces, and long-term knowledge sharing. On Facebook, great conversations get buried quickly — in Circle, insights, case studies, and connections can grow over time instead of disappearing in the feed.
-
No. You can stay part of Surfpreneurs for free through the Facebook group and local meetups. The paid memberships are optional and for those who want easier networking, regular online sessions, workshops, and deeper community involvement.
-
Getting set up takes minutes. Simply sign up here: ww.surfpreneurs-circle.com/hello-start-here. Enter your email and your name and choose your access level. Once you have a circle account, you can fill in your profile and you’re done.
-
Surfpreneurs Circle is for entry-level entrepreneurs as well as experienced business leaders. What matters is your openness to share, learn and interact within the community.

-
Of course! All entrepreneurs working in the surf or lifestyle sector are welcome here.
-
Surfpreneurs Circle is for those who want deeper and more honest connections within the surf and lifestyle sectors. This is your space if you don’t want passive content and you don’t just want to sit on the sidelines.
-
Pro (coming later) is for those who want structured accountability, masterminds, and hands-on support to accelerate their business. It will include facilitated mastermind calls, planning sessions, and deeper strategic work over time.
-
No. You’re welcome to stay in the Facebook group and attend local meetups as you always have. Moving into Circle is optional and meant for those who want more structure, visibility, and connection.
-
Please reach out to us directly at hello@surfpreneurs.club:)
-
Simply put: to better support members who want to go deeper. Facebook does a decent job for broad connection, but a dedicated platform lets us have richer conversations, organise knowledge, and build relationships more intentionally.
-
Yes — this Facebook group remains free and open. That’s not changing.
-
No, this is just the beginning. Early members aren’t joining a polished end product — they’re helping shape what Surfpreneurs Circle becomes. It’s progress over perfection, built together.
-
Perfect. Many Surfpreneurs are early in their journey. What matters most is your willingness to share openly, ask questions, and learn from others. And remember — what you bring doesn’t only come from your surf business. Past experience counts too
-
Also perfect. Circle is a place to connect with peers, sanity-check decisions, explore collaborations, and gain confidence that you’re on the right path.
-
It now lives securely inside Circle. With nearly 900 members globally, we wanted to move away from shared Google spreadsheets and into a proper platform that respects privacy and makes it easier to find people by things like location and focus. (You can still connect with members here in Facebook too.)
-
That’s okay. We’ve included a 30 day money-back guarantee (details on the landing page) because we want this to feel low-pressure and fair. Our hope is that you’ll get far more value than the cost, but we understand that peace of mind matters.
-
We change the time of our online meetups each month, to provide members from all over the world the chance to attend. They are usually in the early evening for New Zealand, West Coast USA, or Western Europe.
-
Our aim is to have a monthly meetup for each month of the year.
-
This will be shaped by community demand. We currently have two workshops scheduled for the first half of the year, and are planning at least two more in the second half.
-
Yes. Local meetups remain free and open to everyone. Online meetups and workshops are included for Circle and Pro members, while Basic members can join them for a small per-event fee.
-
The fee helps cover the tools, facilitation, and time needed to run Surfpreneurs sustainably — from hosting platforms and organizing events to creating resources and supporting members who host local meetups. It allows Surfpreneurs to grow without relying on ads or sponsorships.
And don’t miss out on our upcoming Workshops on ‘Finances & Forecasting’, ‘Is Your Website Build For Conversion?’, and ‘Marketing and Communications’ as well as our monthly themed online meet ups.
