51 Photos

51 Photos is the photographer companion app for 51.surf — the photographer-first platform for surf, kitesurfing, wingfoiling, e-foiling, SUP and windsurfing photography.

This is your beach-to-sale workflow.

CAPTURE ON THE BEACH

Create a session at the start of a shoot. Tap any surfer who walks past, snap a quick reference shot, grab their phone number, log their gear and surf time. GPS tags everything to the spot.

PUBLISH IN ONE TAP

Upload your full session from your dashboard at 51.photos. When you flip a session live, every captured surfer gets an SMS with a personal gallery link — pre-filtered to show their photos first.

SELL MORE SHOTS ON 51.SURF

Surfers discover and buy your photos at 51.surf — they see their own gallery before they see anyone else's. Filter dropdowns let them narrow further. Volume discounts, instant downloads, no scrolling through 800 photos to find themselves.

WHO IT'S FOR

Independent surf, kite, wing, foil and SUP photographers. Surf schools and photo agencies running multi-photographer shoots. Anyone who's tired of yelling phone numbers at strangers in 4mm wetsuits.
