The 25 & Under membership plan is available to Surfline users aged 16-25 years old, who prove their age with an accepted identification document using Stripe Identity. This annual membership plan offers a 40% discount and will automatically renew each year at the discounted Premium price until the renewal date after your 26th birthday. At this time, you will automatically be transitioned to the regular Premium membership price. We will send an email to notify you about this change at least 30 days prior to the first billing at the regular price point. You can change your membership plan before your next renewal or opt-out of auto-renewal at any time in Account Settings.

I’m under 16, can I sign up for this membership?
Surfline products are for surfers 16 and older. Please see our Terms of Use for more information.
Why am I asked to verify my identity for the 25 & Under membership plan?
In an effort to prevent fraud, the identity verification process helps us ensure that you are the age communicated and eligible for the 25 & Under membership.
How are you verifying my age and who has access to my verification data?
Surfline uses our partner, Stripe Identity, to verify your age and eligibility using an official identification document. Stripe will have access to the information you submit through the verification flow, and Surfline will have limited access to the data as well. We rely on Stripe to securely store your verification data.
Stripe will ask for your consent before collecting and using your information. They will only use your verification data in accordance with the permissions you grant before starting the verification process, and based on their Privacy Policy.

Is the 25 & Under discounted price offered globally?
