YouTube is where your films live. SurfVault is where surfers go looking for them, by the breaks they surf and the people they follow.
- Films play straight from your YouTube channel, so every view counts there.
- Link and verify your channel once, and every film from it is credited to you automatically.
- Your profile gets a button straight to your channel, so new fans can subscribe.
- Everyone you tag gets notified and the film lands on their profile, in front of their followers too.
02. Everything connected
One film, linked to everything in it.
A film on YouTube is a video. On SurfVault it’s connected to the whole lineup, and every connection is another way for surfers to find it.
The breaks
Tag every break a film was shot at, and it shows up on those breaks for the surfers who surf them.
The surfers
Tag the surfers in it. They get notified, confirm, and the film lands on their profile in front of their followers.
The shapers
Tag the shapers whose boards are being ridden, so the film shows up on their profiles for the surfers who follow them.
The sessions
Link the photo sessions from the same days, so a surfer who loves the film can find the stills too.
The brands
Credit the brands behind it, so the film shows up on their profiles alongside their team and boards.
The style
Barrels, airs, travel, longboarding: every film gets tagged by style, so surfers can find more of what they love.
03. Found everywhere
Films show up wherever surfers look.
- The Films tab: latest, nearby and popular, plus every style.
- Break pages: a nearby films rail next to the sessions shot there.
- Profiles: on the Films tab of the filmer and everyone credited.
- On This Day: films come back on the date they were shot, year after year.

Films FAQ
Good to know.
How do I add a film?
In your Library, tap + then Add a film and paste its YouTube link. Then tag the breaks it was shot at, the surfers in it and the sessions from the same days. Any account can add a surf film.

Does it cost anything?
No. Adding and watching films is free, and films don’t use any of your storage.

Link your YouTube channel to your profile and verify it with a one-time code in your channel description. Films from your channel are then credited to you automatically, and your profile gets a button straight to your channel.
Someone else added my film. Is that OK?
Yes. Anyone can add a surf film, but once you verify your channel, every film from it is credited to you, whoever added it.
