Terms of Service
Effective date: June 9, 2026 · Links Letters LLC DBA PopUp Surf Trips
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using popupsurftrips.com (the "Service"), operated by Links Letters LLC DBA PopUp Surf Trips ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.
2. Description of Service
PopUp Surf Trips is a surf travel matching platform. We analyze surf forecasts and flight availability to identify trip windows that match your stated wave and travel preferences. We deliver these matches to you via our website dashboard and alert notifications.
The Service is currently provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features or subscriptions in the future, with advance notice to registered users.
3. Surf Forecast Disclaimer — Important
Wave condition forecasts are predictions, not guarantees.
Surf conditions are inherently unpredictable. All wave heights, scores, and daily conditions displayed on the Service are derived from third-party forecast models and may be inaccurate. Actual surf conditions at any destination may differ significantly from what was predicted at the time of your match. We make no warranty, express or implied, that any forecasted conditions will occur. You assume all risk associated with travel decisions made based on information provided by the Service.
We strongly recommend consulting multiple forecasting sources (such as Surfline, Magic Seaweed, or Windguru) and local surf reports close to your travel dates before booking any trip. PopUp Surf Trips is a discovery and planning tool, not a real-time conditions service.
4. No Booking or Travel Services
PopUp Surf Trips does not sell flights, accommodation, or any travel products. We do not act as a travel agent, tour operator, or booking platform. Any flight prices or estimates shown are illustrative and sourced from third-party data; actual prices may differ. You are solely responsible for researching, booking, and paying for your own travel. We are not a party to any transaction you make with airlines, hotels, or any other travel provider.
5. User Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

8. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service relies on third-party data providers for surf forecasts and flight information. We do not control these providers and are not responsible for the accuracy or availability of their data.
