Surfers of India
Now onboarding surf schools for the season

Photo delivery for surf schools

The simplest way to get session photos to your students. Upload the memory card, share your link — they find themselves with a selfie and pay you directly.

Built by two surf photographers for the surf schools and water photographers of the Indian coast. No monthly fees

How it works

From memory card
to paid photo packs

We run the platform. You run the sessions.

  1. 01

    Register

    Create your school or photographer account and pick your link.

  2. 02

    Upload

    Drop the whole memory card. We sort, index and watermark it.

  3. 03

    Share

    Send your link to the batch, or pin it at the break.

  4. 04

    Get paid

    Students unlock their photos. Your share settles to your bank.

Selfie matching

Your students
find themselves

No more sorting a thousand frames into folders. On your link, a student drops a selfie and our face matching hands back only the frames they’re in.

Your work stays protected

Students browse watermarked previews. Full-resolution originals only unlock after payment is confirmed.

Paid before they download

Students pay by UPI, card or netbanking through Cashfree. Easy Split sends your share straight to your registered bank account.

Upload studio

Run the whole beach
from one studio

Upload whole memory cards from the browser. Thumbnails, face indexing and storage happen in the background.

Crew logins

Give photographers, instructors and admins their own logins, so the team can run uploads without sharing a password.

Sales at a glance

See what sold in every session, and what’s on its way to your bank.

Built for the coast

Everything a surf school
needs to sell photos

Bulk upload

Whole memory cards straight from the browser.

Face indexing

Every face in every frame, indexed for selfie search.

Branded link

Your name, logo and colours on your own page.

Watermarks

Previews stay watermarked until a pack is paid for.

Easy Split payouts

Your share settles to your bank automatically.

Crew accounts

Separate logins for every photographer and instructor.

Full-res delivery

Students get your original files, plus a one-ZIP download.

30-day recovery

Students who lose the tab get their gallery back.

Private by design

Selfies are matched in memory and never stored, unless a guest with no match asks for a hand search (kept 7 days).

“We’re two photographers who’ve spent years shooting surf across India at events, contests and our friends’ surf schools. Every shoot ended with evenings of sorting folders and sending photos one by one. So we built the platform we wanted, and opened it to every school and photographer on the coast.”

FAQ

Questions,
answered

Something else? Say hello

How do my students find their photos?

Only through your link. You share photos.surfersofindia.com/your-school with your batch; they pick the session, drop a selfie and see the frames they’re in. There’s no public search across schools.

How do I get paid?

We use Cashfree Easy Split. When a student buys a photo pack on your link, the ₹100 platform fee is deducted and the rest goes to your Cashfree vendor account, ready for settlement to your bank.

What does it cost?

Nothing to join and no monthly fees. We keep ₹100 per photo pack sold; you set your own pack price.

Can independent photographers sign up?

Yes. Freelance water photographers register their own studio link, upload sessions, tag the location and share the link on Instagram or at the break.

What happens to my students’ selfies?

A selfie is compared against the session’s photos in memory and discarded as soon as the search runs. It is never saved or added to an album.

Do my original files stay full resolution?

Yes. Previews are watermarked and compressed for fast browsing. After payment, students download the original files you uploaded, including a single-click ZIP.
