Do I need an account?

No. Groups are created with a shareable link, and members are identified per-group with magic links. We never require email or a password.

How do I create my first group?

Go to /groups/new, pick a name and default currency, and share the link with whoever's splitting expenses with you. The whole flow takes about 30 seconds.

How do I install the app on my phone?

Open the site in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) and choose 'Add to Home Screen' or 'Install app'. EvenRound is a Progressive Web App - it installs in seconds with no app-store review.

Does it work offline?

Reading does. The PWA caches the last group you viewed for offline access. Adding new expenses still requires a connection so balances stay consistent across members.

Surf camp expense splitting for week-long retreats

Last updated 29. Apr. 2026 by The EvenRound team.

Bali, Portugal, Morocco, or Sri Lanka. Surf camp is the modern group retreat - board rentals, daily breakfasts, transport, and one private session that costs more than the rest. Split it cleanly.

How to do this in EvenRound

01
Create the group early - surf camps book months ahead
Lock in the chalet or guesthouse with everyone listed.
02
Pre-pay the camp accommodation
Most surf camps require 50% deposit. One person pays, group reimburses immediately.
03
Each person handles their own lessons and board rental
Skill levels vary. Beginner takes 5 lessons; advanced takes 0. Don't centralise.
04
Pool the group dinners and beach lunches
Equal split among attendees. Surf-camp food is usually cooked communally.
05
Settle at trip end, before the airport
Final morning. Quick Wise transfers. Avoid the 'I'll send it when I'm back' trap.

Worked example

6-person 7-day surf camp in Portugal

Who paid	For	Amount
Organiser	Camp accommodation (paid)	€2,400
Member A	Lessons for 3 beginners	€450
Member B	Group dinners (4 nights)	€480
Member C	Board rentals (1 week × 4)	€280

Settlement plan

→ Accommodation equal across 6 = €400 each
→ Lessons exact (only 3 beginners split)
→ Group dinners + boards as logged
→ Average net per attendee: €500-600 to organiser

Common pitfalls

Don't equal-split lessons - beginners benefit much more than advanced surfers.
Sunscreen, surf wax, and small board accessories are personal - don't pool.
Pre-collect for the accommodation. Surf-camp deposits are non-refundable.

Why EvenRound works for this

Per-attendee for lessons and boards handles skill variance.
Equal accommodation + equal group meals match the camp's communal nature.
Multi-currency for trips outside the Eurozone.

Best for: multi-day surf camps with mixed-skill participants.
