Quick Start
This page gets you into Surflink and oriented, whatever your role.
Create an account
There are two ways into Surflink depending on who you are:
| You are a... | How you sign up |
|---|---|
| Coach / instructor | Self-serve at /signup |
| Student | Accept a coach's invite link, or self-enroll via a club QR link |
Sign up as a coach
- Go to /signup.
- Choose an account type: Independent Instructor ($19/mo) or Professional Coach ($79/mo).
- Enter your Name, Email, Password (minimum 8 characters), and optionally Location.
- Click Create Account.
You're taken straight to your dashboard. Behind the scenes a personal organization is created for you and you become its Owner, so everything works immediately even as a solo coach. You start on a 14-day free trial -- add billing details later from Plans, Seats & Billing.
Sign in / reset password
- Sign in at
/login. Surflink routes you automatically: coaches to/dashboardand students to/athlete/dashboard. - Forgot your password? Click Forgot password? on the login page, enter your email, and click Send reset link. Open the email, set a New password, confirm it, and click Update password.
Find your way around (coaches)
The left sidebar is grouped. The on-screen labels sometimes differ from the page address:
| Group | Labels you'll see |
|---|---|
| (top) | Dashboard |
| Manage | Athletes, Watchlist (Pro), Sessions, Training Sessions, Requests, Plans & Goals |
| Analyze | Drills, Compare Video, Compare Athletes (Pro), Analytics |
| Compete (Pro) | Circuits, Competitions |
| Connect | Messages, Community |
| (bottom) | Workspace, Billing, Settings, Docs |
There's a mint Upload button for adding sessions, a notification bell, a light/dark theme toggle, and your avatar with a Sign out action. If you belong to more than one workspace, a workspace switcher appears at the top of the sidebar.
Some pages aren't in the sidebar and are reached from inside other pages -- for example the Club QR generator (from a student's add flow or Settings), a single Training Session detail, CSV import, and the admin Dedup console.
Your first 10 minutes as a coach
- Add an athlete -- Managing Athletes.
- Upload a session -- click Upload, drop a clip, and let the AI analyze it (Uploading Sessions).
- Review it -- drop annotations and generate AI coaching feedback (Reviewing Sessions).
- Invite the athlete so they can see their feedback (Inviting Athletes).
