Shops and schools dominate a 5,919-business world surf directory; explicit board-repair listings are rare

Asked:

“can you put all the surf schools/surfcamp/surf hostels around the world in list. also surf repair and surf shops”

A live-web sweep gathered 7,377 service-specific listings across 148 source country and territory labels, consolidated into 5,919 business/location records. There is no authoritative global registry, so this is a large researched directory rather than a literally complete worldwide census; coverage varies by language and country, and partial records were kept — blank cells mean the source did not resolve that field.

Service listings by category, before cross-category consolidation

One business can appear under several services, so these five counts overlap and should not be summed into unique businesses. “Surfboard repair” counts only businesses whose indexed page explicitly stated repair; many surf shops also fix boards without saying so.

Surf shops (2,990) and surf schools (2,419) each outnumber explicit surfboard-repair listings (156) by more than fifteen to one. surfertoday.com
Surf shops span the widest footprint — 96 source country labels — while explicit repair listings appear under only 21. rentechdigital.com
The United States (753) and Portugal (649) lead the source country labels, with all five service categories present in each. luwatu.com
Surf hostels are the best-documented online: 254 of 541 listings (47%) carry an official website, versus 26% of shops. suayhype.com

Where the source labels point

Source country labels as they appeared in the pages — 148 labels including variants, abbreviations, territories and translations (for example both “United States” and “USA”). A coverage overview, not a definitive country ranking. Showing the top 20; the rest are searchable in the directory below.

Every listing carries a source URL; sources span 606 independent hosts and the largest single URL backs 127 listings (1.72%). Missing fields retained: 1,690 listings without a country, 824 without a city, 4,749 without an official website. Counts are service listings, not unique businesses.
