About Surflist

The idea is simple: a directory you can trust. Every business listed here has been checked against its own official website before it goes in. If a business can't be confirmed as real and operating from its own site, it isn't listed — no auto-scraped filler, no dead links, no guesswork.

Founded in 2026 by Ben Manton, Surflist covers surf destinations worldwide and grows one town at a time as each is researched and verified.

Every surf school on Surflist has its own page. Verified is a paid upgrade — a badge, extra prominence, and richer profile details. Surf shops, stays and services currently appear as cards that link to the business; a verified listing in those categories gets its own page. List your business →
