Water sports school management software

The wind decides,
Looply organises.

Your whole school in one app, from your phone on the beach to the computer in the office. Born in a kitesurf school, where we use it every day.

The Looply schedule: Saturday's lessons split by instructor, with the hour-by-hour wind forecast above
The real Looply schedule, with sample data. Tap it: it's yours.

Running a school shouldn't look like this.

Excel sheets in three versions, deposits to check, clients waiting for a reply, instructor hours to recount at the end of the month: office work that takes time away from the water and your clients.

Everything in one management app. Even from your phone, on the beach.

A working day, run from one app.

From planning in the morning to closing the books in the evening: this is how Looply supports your school at every moment of the day.

  1. Before you open, the day is already planned

    The day plan brings lessons, instructors, rentals and forecasts together on one page: open your phone and you already know how the day will go.

    • Who's in: instructors, students and today's rentals
    • The wind: strength and timing of the best window
    • What's missing: every alert with the action to fix it
    Watamu, before opening
    Watamu, before opening
    The Looply day plan: the week with takings and wind for each day, today's numbers and alerts on lessons and rentals to sort out
  2. Lesson schedule with the wind, hour by hour

    Lessons organised by instructor, with your spot's forecast on top. It's a faithful recreation of the app: try it.

    • Move a lesson and the others rearrange down the line
    • Autoplan assigns a qualified instructor who speaks the student's language
    • WhatsApp message ready to tell the student about the change

  3. Client accounts and payments always in order

    Every client has a single account with courses, rentals and membership: you always know who has paid and what's left.

    • Course, rentals and membership on the same account
    • Payment link via WhatsApp, even just for the deposit
    • Automatic update as soon as the client pays
  4. At the end of the day, lessons confirmed and takings clear

    Closing the day takes a few minutes: no sheets, no sums by hand.

    • The instructor reports the lesson from their phone
    • The office confirms: only what's confirmed counts
    • Pay and margin for the day, already calculated

Every feature to run your school, in one platform.

Online bookings, memberships, inventory, payroll and much more: everything is included in every plan, with no paid add-on modules.

The real inventory screen: wear on every kite and estimated replacement date

Rentals and inventory with wear tracking

Hours of use for every kite, bar and board: you know what's on the water and what to replace before it breaks.

The real staff screen: what is still owed to each instructor

Automatic instructor pay

Hours and commissions calculated from confirmed lessons, payslip ready at the end of the month.

Wind forecasts in the schedule

Hour-by-hour forecasts for your spot: you plan lessons in the best wind window.

Boat trips and shuttles, organised in seconds.

For schools on a lake or with offshore spots: the shift board shows who's going out, on which boat and with which instructor.

  • Choose who goes on each boat and with which instructor: the instructor boards with their students
  • Autoplan fills the boats, you confirm
  • Shift cancelled for wind: messages for everyone are already written
  • Shuttle independent or assisted, with the waiver signed on screen

For every water sports school and centre.

Disciplines, levels, price lists and forms are configured around your business: kitesurf, wing foil, surf, SUP, sailing, rentals and centres with accommodation.

Our spot from the drone: two kites over the Watamu lagoon
Used every dayJC Kite Watamu, Kenya

Born in a real school, not in an office.

Looply was born at JC Kite Watamu, in Kenya. After years as an instructor and manager, the founder couldn't find management software that suited a water sports school, so he built it. Today the school uses it every day, from opening to closing.

My data is already in other software or in Excel.

We bring it over for you: clients, lessons, payments and memberships, from Excel or other software. A one-off €50.

How do my clients pay?

However you like: cash, card terminal, bank transfer or the online payment link by card (Stripe). You can ask for a deposit and decide whether the client pays the card fee.

Who counts towards the plan?

The instructors and managers who use Looply. Essential: up to 3 instructors and 1 manager. Pro: up to 7 instructors and 2 managers. Elite: no limit on instructors or managers. Enterprise doesn't depend on numbers: it's for schools that want features built specially for them.

Is my data safe?

Each user only sees what their role allows, logins are logged and signed documents stay private. The data belongs to your school.

Which languages does it work in?

The app and the client forms are in Italian, English, German, Spanish and French; Dutch and Portuguese are on the way. Each user picks their own language.

Can I cancel whenever I want?

Yes: the monthly plan can be cancelled any time, from the end of the current month. The yearly one runs until the end of the year. Your data stays yours and we export it for you.
