For schools & instructors
WWS turns recognised watersport schools into modern businesses — discovery, bookings, accreditation, insurance and your own gear brand, in one alliance built since 1983.
The winning formula
One school, four forces. Together they turn a seasonal hustle into a company that pays the bills when the wind doesn't blow.
A recognised association behind you since 1983: standards, support, accreditation and a global network.
The software that does the admin, takes the bookings and moves the money — so you run the water, not the desk.
Your own gear brand. Lessons bring students in; gear sales keep the income flowing all year.
Your style, your spot, your crew. The creativity is yours; we supply the machine underneath it.
Lessons are the vehicle. Gear is the engine. The wind stops deciding whether you eat.
The program
Every WWS school climbs the same ladder. Start anywhere — each rung compounds the last.
A public profile page built to win Google and the AI search engines riders now ask first.
Run your entire school on AllyOS — and take bookings everywhere, including your existing website.
Show riders and parents you're the real thing with recognised credentials and cover.
Sell gear the way the big brands won't let you — and keep the margin in the family.
Platform membership & pricing
Membership and software have a price. Standing never does — Trusted, Academy and every Excellence badge are verified or earned, and drop away when the criteria lapse.
$100/ year
The permanent base — every WWS school carries the Member mark.
$49/ month
Your school runs on AllyOS — up to 5 active instructors.
$99/ month
The Center plan — for operations that never stop growing.
$799+/ year · custom quote
School liability insurance through the WWS partner — verified, visible.
$1,500/ year
Instructor training facility — audited, examiner-qualified.
Platform membership is separate from the WWS-WWC e.V. association fee. Trusted pricing depends on fleet size, student volume and country — final quote comes from our insurance partner. All prices exclude VAT.
Earned, never sold
Two more badge families sit beside the tiers — and there's no invoice for either. They're computed from what your school actually does.
Equip your school through the United Gear partnership and the gear cog joins your marks — plus a better price list and early access to drops. It disappears if the partnership goes quiet.
Four yearly badges — Business, Experience, Gear, Instructor Quality — computed from verified AllyOS data. Each one starts grey every January and gains colour as your season fills it in.
Get profitable
Your own united gear brand: 20% to the school, 20% to the instructor — 30 to 40% of every kit stays in the house, plus royalties on every repeat purchase and a cut of every resale.
Standing & stewardship
WWS schools aren't just listed — they're accredited, and they give back. Climb the ladder, carry the badge, look after the water you teach on.
Accreditation comes with responsibility. Our schools steward their spots and their community — these are the values, not a rulebook.
Look after the launch, the access and the locals. A good spot is a shared asset.
Protect the coastline, the wildlife and the water that makes the sport possible.
Teach to a recognised safety standard — every lesson, every level.
Grow the sport: events, newcomers, and a culture worth belonging to.
When the admin is handled and gear sales flow, the maths changes. Professional schools can finally treat instructors like proper employees and business partners — real pay, royalties on the students they bring back, and a future worth staying for.
