Schools running their business on Shaka Book.
“We went from three WhatsApp groups and a paper waiver stack to one calendar everyone actually looks at. Our no-shows dropped almost immediately.”
Sanne de Vries
Owner · WindRide Kite School, Brouwersdam
“The weather-aware booking is the feature I didn't know I needed. Customers rebook themselves into good wind windows without us lifting a finger.”
Milan Bakker
Operations Manager · Banjaard Kite Academy, Vrouwenpolder
“Marketplace bookings alone paid for the switch. We're now visible on Waarkitesurfen with live reviews and it just feeds straight into our calendar.”
Yuki Tanaka
Founder · Domburg Wave Riders
“Planning six instructors across two locations used to take me a full Sunday evening. Now it's mostly automatic and I actually trust it.”
Fem Willems
Head Instructor · Veerse Meer Kite Co., Kamperland
Questions, answered.
We import your existing customers, bookings and instructor schedules before go-live. Most schools are fully migrated within a week, running both systems in parallel until they're confident.
No setup fees and no monthly fees. During the founding offer you pay 1.5% commission on successful bookings in your first year, then 2.5% after — you only pay when you get paid.
Every school gets onboarding support and access to our support team by chat and email. Larger multi-location operators get a dedicated account contact.
Shaka Book uses the same live weather engine as Waarkitesurfen.nl, bundling multiple measurement sources per spot for wind, gusts, tide, waves and water temperature.
A documented REST API and webhook system is coming soon for schools and developers who want to build custom integrations on top of Shaka Book.
Stripe, Mollie, PayPal, Google Calendar, iCal, WordPress, Mailchimp, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are all built in, with more integrations added regularly.
All traffic runs over SSL, data is backed up continuously, and Shaka Book is built around GDPR principles with role-based permissions for every staff account.
