What we will do with your Donation

New - An AI to assist with listing your items for sale - you snap a couple of photos of the item you’re selling, Surf Bunker’s AI will work out what the item is. We’ve already partially built this and it just needs refining.

New - Instant Messaging - talk directly with the seller / buyer / provider about items before you make a sale / purchase.

New - Postage - An automatic postage feature which generates instant pricing from seller to buyer on a global scale.

New - Payment Options - allowing you to make the sale or purchase directly through Surf Bunker. As a collective the more transactions we process, the lower the fees we can demand from providers. We can then pass these savings on to you.

New - Multiple Languages – Our vision is that Surf Bunker will work across a variety of languages, automatically translating listings and instant messages between buyers and sellers and removing the barrier of language.

Improve - Surf Business Finder. The benefits will include more categories of businesses and an improved feature to import mass amounts of boards for local shops and online businesses.

Improve - Matchmaker function – Currently one of the most popular features on Surf Bunker. If you can’t find the specific surfboard you are looking for, just log it with MM (Matchmaker) and let it do the searching for you. Receive notifications when when your dream item becomes available at the price you want.

To help us launch a European Funding bid for further investment and continue pushing the platform's development and growth with many new, exciting features yet to be mentioned.

Our Environmental Pledge

We want to give back. In our hearts, we have a deep and long-lasting respect for our oceans. As a responsible surf company we must help tackle the pollution issue in and around these bodies of water. This is our way of doing what we believe is right.

By definition, our reason for being involves the recycling of your surf hardware giving it a second life and helping to reduce harmful, polluting waste in landfill and our oceans.

Donating to a charity that actions real change in cleaning up our oceans and waterways. We want to throw this out there to you, our readers and backers. We will be inviting you to guide us as to which charity you want us to support and will be making a percentage of profits payment to them every year. Our way of giving back.

Surf Bunker is a marketplace that will continue to promote genuine eco surf products, spreading awareness of real issues and the actions we can take to make things right.

Providing a level playing field for all products and manufacturers, offering everyone an eco-friendly alternative.
