Home > About us
We developed VIKING, a custom software for our own kitesurf school, when standard options fell short. It made managing our school effortless, saved us time, and helped our business grow. It transformed our operations and could revolutionize yours too.
Wanna know why I started building Viking? I love water sports, and I used to enjoy teaching others to kitesurf too. That’s right, I used to—until I didn't anymore.
Running my own school, Kiteboardschool.nl, I quickly discovered how hard it was to keep everyone happy. More success brought more phone calls, more emails, and a lot more stress. I knew something had to change. That's how Viking was born.
In close partnership with a team of skilled developers, we transformed our challenges into opportunities. Suddenly, I had this insanely powerful tool that was perfect for my school. If it worked for me, could it work for others? It did—and it does.
Over the last 8 years, we've seen so many happy customers at Viking. They're grateful that we're helping them, and most importantly, many of them report finding time to hit the water again. And isn't that what it’s all about?
Thijs van Westing - Founder Viking Bookings
Together with our clients, we work tirelessly every day to make Viking the best water sports book software. And with each improvement and expansion, you get more value out of Viking.
Back in 2015, Viking started as a custom booking platform for our own center to save time & streamline our business. Eight years later, it evolved into a powerful platform to help surf schools all around the world save time & sell more.
As school owners, we know how important it is to be there when you need us. That's why we offer adequate support via our knowledge base, chat and email. So help is always close by.
At our company, we chose not to focus on yoga retreats, sports software, overnight stays and all the other aspects that don’t apply to running water sports centers. Our focus is watersports.
We understand the unique challenges and complexities that come with managing a water sports center, which is why we have developed a software solution that is specifically tailored to your needs. Our software is designed to streamline your day-to-day operations, allowing you to focus on what really matters: providing unforgettable experiences for your customers.
In everything we develop, our main focus is to save time and get rid of repetitive tasks.
We believe you were not made to send the same email hundreds of times again, but to put love and attention into everything you do.
With Viking you can focus on what matters most - your clients (or going out on the water again ;-))
