Question 1

What is Adrenalink?

Accepted Answer

Adrenalink is the home of adrenaline activity. It’s a platform that connects people who want to learn kitesurfing, wingfoiling, surfing, and other adrenaline sports with schools and instructors around the world. For students, it’s the easiest way to find, book, and track your progression across any adrenaline sport. For schools and instructors, it’s a complete operating system — bookings, students, equipment, teachers, payments — in one place.

Question 2

What sports are on Adrenalink?

Accepted Answer

Kitesurfing, wingfoiling, surfing, paddleboarding, and more. We started in the kite world because that’s where our founder has 20 years of experience, but Adrenalink is built for any adrenaline activity where people book lessons, rent equipment, and progress through skill levels.

Question 3

Is Adrenalink free for students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Students never pay Adrenalink anything. You search for schools, book lessons, track your progression, and manage your certifications — all free. The school sets the lesson price. You pay the school directly. We don’t sit in the middle taking a cut.

Question 4

Where is Adrenalink available?

Accepted Answer

We’re launching in the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Gran Canaria) and Tarifa, Spain — the kite capital of Europe. These are some of the highest-density kite school regions in the world. From there we’re expanding to Portugal, Greece, and beyond. If your school is somewhere else and you want in early, reach out — we’re adding schools globally.

Question 5

Who’s behind Adrenalink?

Accepted Answer

Victor Rubio, founder. Been kiting since 2006. Built Adrenalink because he lived the problems it solves — the messy WhatsApp groups, the spreadsheets for tracking equipment hours, the lack of any real system for running a school. This isn’t a tech company guessing what schools need. It’s built by someone who knows.

Question 6

How much does Adrenalink cost?

Accepted Answer

Three tiers, flat monthly fee, no surprises:

Blue — $90/mo. For freelance instructors. 1 teacher, unlimited students. Booking management, student registration and progression, clinics marketplace listing.

Silver — $200/mo. For schools. Unlimited teachers and students. Everything in Blue plus teacher commissions, scheduling, and custom integrations.

Gold — $400/mo. For full operations. Everything in Silver plus equipment lifecycle tracking (flight hours, repairs, retirements), rental management, real-time analytics, and your own school page at yourschool.adrenalink.org.

All tiers include unlimited students. No setup fee. No hidden costs.

Question 7

Do you take a commission on bookings?

Accepted Answer

No. Zero percent. Not now, not ever. This is a core promise — it’s on our website, it’s in our contracts, it’s non-negotiable. You keep 100% of every booking. We make money from the flat subscription, not by taxing your revenue.

Question 8

How is that different from Viking Bookings or Sailia?

Accepted Answer

Viking charges either ~3% commission on every booking OR €375/month plus a €380 setup fee. Sailia takes 3–5% commission with undisclosed pricing. Both sit between you and your money.

Adrenalink charges a flat fee. You know exactly what you pay every month. No percentage of your bookings, no setup fee, no surprises. Beyond pricing, we also offer things no competitor has: full equipment lifecycle tracking, a clinics marketplace, student progression linked to equipment and teachers, and a dedicated school page on adrenalink.org.

Question 9

What’s the Founding School Program?

Accepted Answer

We’re inviting the first 30 schools to join Adrenalink for 3 months, completely free. Full platform access — every feature, no restrictions. In exchange, we ask for your honest feedback and permission to feature your school as a case study. After 3 months, you decide if you want to continue on a paid tier. This is how we’re building the product — with real schools shaping it.

Question 10

What do I get as a founding school?

Accepted Answer

Full Gold-tier access for 3 months. That means unlimited teachers, unlimited students, equipment tracking, rental management, analytics — everything. Plus your school gets a dedicated page at yourschool.adrenalink.org with your branding, social links, packages, and contact info. You’re not testing a beta. You’re using the full platform while helping us make it better.

Question 11

What is the school subdomain page?

Accepted Answer

Every school on Adrenalink gets a page at yourschool.adrenalink.org. It’s your school’s identity on the platform — your logo, your photos, your packages, your social links, your contact info. Students find you through this page. It’s included in every tier, but Gold schools get full customization.

Question 12

How does onboarding work?

Accepted Answer

Video-first. We’ve built a series of walkthrough videos covering everything: setting up your school profile, adding packages, managing equipment, importing students, scheduling teachers. You watch at your own pace. During your first week, you also get direct support from Victor via email or WhatsApp for any questions the videos don’t cover. No sales calls. No “onboarding specialist” who’s never been on a kite.

Question 13

Can I track my equipment on Adrenalink?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is one of our biggest differentiators. Gold tier includes full equipment lifecycle tracking: flight hours per kite, repair history, retirement scheduling, rental availability. You know exactly which kites are due for service, which boards are out on rental, and which gear needs to be retired. No other booking platform in the kite industry offers this.

Question 14

What about teacher management?

Accepted Answer

Silver and Gold tiers include full teacher management. Assign teachers to sessions, track their schedules, manage commissions, and see which teacher is working with which student on which equipment. Blue tier is designed for solo instructors, so it covers one teacher.

Question 15

I’m a freelance instructor, not a school. Is Adrenalink for me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The Blue tier ($90/mo) is built specifically for you. Run your clinics and workshops like a pro — bookings, student registration, progression tracking, payments, all in one place. Plus you get listed on the Adrenalink clinics marketplace, which means students searching for clinics in your area find you. No commission on any booking you receive.

Question 16

What’s the clinics marketplace?

Accepted Answer

It’s a section of Adrenalink where freelance instructors and schools list workshops and clinics — short-format sessions like “3-day kite clinic in Tarifa” or “wingfoil weekend in Fuerteventura.” Students can browse by sport, location, date, and skill level. If you’re running clinics, this is how people find you.

Question 17

Can I integrate Adrenalink with my existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Silver and Gold tiers support custom integrations — hotel booking systems, payment processors, and more. If you’re already using specific tools, we can work with you to connect them. During the founding school program, this is exactly the kind of feedback that helps us build the right integrations.

Question 18

What happens after the 3 free months?

Accepted Answer

You choose a tier that fits your operation. If you’re a solo instructor, Blue at $90/mo. If you’re running a school with multiple teachers, Silver at $200/mo. If you need equipment tracking and the full operating system, Gold at $400/mo. No pressure, no automatic charges. If it’s not right for you, you walk away — but we think once you’ve used it for 3 months, you won’t want to go back to spreadsheets.

Question 19

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use Supabase (built on PostgreSQL) with row-level security, hosted on enterprise infrastructure. Your school data, student records, and booking history are yours. We don’t sell data, we don’t share it with competitors, and if you ever leave Adrenalink, you can export everything.

Question 20

How do students book lessons?

Accepted Answer

Students browse schools on Adrenalink, view available packages and time slots, and book directly. The school receives the booking, confirms it, and gets paid directly by the student. Adrenalink facilitates the connection — we don’t process the payment or take a cut.

Question 21

How do notifications work?

Accepted Answer

Adrenalink sends notifications through the channels your students actually use — email and WhatsApp. New booking? You get notified. Student cancels? You know immediately. We don’t force people to download an app or check a dashboard. Adrenalink is the trigger, not the channel.

Question 22

Can students track their progression?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every student has a progression profile that tracks their skill level, sessions completed, certifications earned, and equipment used. If a student trains at multiple schools, their progression follows them. This is valuable for students and for schools — when a new student shows up, you can see exactly where they are.

Question 23

Is there a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Adrenalink is built as a web application that works on any device — phone, tablet, desktop. No app store download required. Students and schools access everything through a browser. This means instant access, no updates to manage, and no app store commission eating into anything.
