A surf school's customer is not a surfer — it's someone on holiday who has never stood on a board and secretly assumes they'll be terrible — so the highest-converting footage is a visibly ordinary adult standing up for the first time, not a local ripping a head-high wave.
Schools fill their feed with advanced surfing shot by a friend with a long lens, which reads as 'this place is for people who can already surf' to the exact beginner whose lesson fee keeps the school alive.

Frequently asked questions
Which Versely workflow fits Surf Schools best?+
"Morning Matcha Routine" is a close match — it's built for 9:16 at 405 credits on Kling Video V3 Pro Image to Video, and every prompt, voiceover line and reference image is editable before you render your own version.
What aspect ratio should Surf Schools use for AI video?+
9:16 — vertical is the default for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, where most of this audience's watch time lives.
How often should Surf Schools post AI-generated video?+
About 4x a week, roughly 17 posts a month. If every post were a full workflow render at the recommended workflows' real cost, that's about 6885-10200 credits a month — mixing in real footage or lighter one-tap templates brings that down.
Should we post surf reports or lesson content?+
Both, but separate them — reports build a local following that rarely books lessons, while beginner content reaches travellers planning a trip, and mixing them means neither audience gets a consistent reason to follow.
How far ahead do holiday customers plan?+
Far enough that destination content works best weeks or months before the season, and last-minute availability posts work best the same week — one calendar can't serve both, so run them as two distinct content lines.
