Respect
For the ocean, the lineup, the locals, and the places we’re lucky to surf.
Traditional maps begin with an address. Surf trips begin with a wave. That changes everything.
A break may be down an unnamed road, across a reef, behind a village, or a long walk from the nearest recognizable landmark. The best food may be a roadside stand. The closest board rental might communicate only through WhatsApp. The best place to stay may never appear when searching for a conventional hotel.
Alani Surf is building a map of that world. Not only the breaks, but everything connected to them. And because surfing is personal, Alani gives every surfer a private place to remember the sessions, boards, conditions, and places that shape their life in the water.
Alani Surf was born out of a simple want: to keep people connected to the ocean, to each other, and to the stories along the way.
It started in 2013 as Surfr App, a surf log and spot app for remembering time on the water. It caught on: Surfr App broke into the top 50 sports apps on the App Store and reached tens of thousands of surfers. Then, like a lot of good swells, it ran out of runway. What it taught us: what surfers will and won't share, and what they actually need around a break.
Alani Surf is the comeback. A private-by-default session log is still at the heart of it. Around it now: conditions that learn your good days, your Lineup, and the world around every break: coffee, stays, shops, stoke. The name is new. The stoke isn't.
2013For the ocean, the lineup, the locals, and the places we’re lucky to surf.
The chase, the risk, the road, the breath before you paddle out.
Friends, joy, love, sharing, and that feeling that keeps bringing you back.
The same rules that work in the water should work here.
