For surfers
See what your
surfing looks like.
Open SHACKD at dawn, see who shoots your break, and ask for the session you’re already paddling out for. No full-day shoots. No chasing tags.
- Photographers sorted by how close they are to your break.
- Name your time and drop a note: “yellow board, mostly lefts”.
- Same-day gallery push. Mark favorites, leave a review.
For photographers
Monetize the mornings
you’re already shooting.
You’re out on the beach with a 70–200mm two mornings a week anyway. Set your rate and the towns you cover, take the requests that suit you, and get paid by the hour. SHACKD handles discovery, payment, and delivery.
- Set your rate, your towns and what you shoot, once.
- One-tap accept with a clear gross / fee / net breakdown.
- Upload and deliver the whole gallery in one action.
