Commission-free booking software for Kitesurfing operators who take bookings over WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Turn every enquiry into a ready-to-confirm booking — one flat monthly price, 0% commission.
Kitesurf and windsurf schools book lessons and rentals around skill level and wind — and almost always over Instagram and WhatsApp. Retveno keeps that channel and adds the structure of a real booking system.
No credit card required · Your guests keep using the apps they already love

Real bookings don't arrive in one tidy message — they're a back-and-forth, with changed dates and afterthoughts. Watch us untangle the whole thread into a single booking, exactly like we do on autopilot.

Built for operators
Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger once and every booking conversation turns into a pending booking with the customer name, dates, group size and contact details already filled in. Review and tap confirm — no copy-paste, no marketplace, nothing new for your guests to learn. Not a channel we connect to yet? Paste a screenshot and Retveno reads it into a draft booking.
Generic booking forms don't fit adventure activities. Lessons and rentals depend on skill level, weight and wind conditions, so capturing them at booking keeps your instructors and gear matched to each session — a kite size on one board, a sail size and board volume on the other. Retveno lets you define your own custom fields per tour — for example skill level, weight, kite or sail size, board volume, lesson vs rental — so every booking captures exactly what you need to run the trip safely.
The rack, not the beach. Lessons and rentals compete for the same kites, boards and sails, across both disciplines.
Sent with the booking and signed before arrival, so nobody is filling in paperwork at the meeting point. On the Pro plan.
A departure manifest you can open on your phone, carrying every custom field the booking captured — and exportable to CSV.
Kite and windsurf schools are wind businesses: a good forecast fills a week and a flat spell empties it, and both happen with a couple of days' notice.
Lessons and rentals also compete for the same gear, so the diary is really an equipment schedule with people attached to it. Most centres run both disciplines off one beach and one rack, which means the two share a single availability problem rather than having one each.
The two sports also want different wind.
A day that is too light to get a kite student going is often a good windsurf day, and the strong afternoon that empties the windsurf rack is when the kite lessons run. A school teaching both is really smoothing one season across two weather profiles — which only works if a single calendar shows you what is booked on each, rather than two lists you reconcile in your head on the drive down.
When the forecast moves, you move the departure — not forty chat threads. Seats, deposits and the guide assigned, in one view.
Skill level and weight decide kite size — or sail size and board volume on a windsurf lesson — and the wrong rig is a lesson that does not happen.
When a student books without either, the instructor finds out on the beach with the wrong gear already carried down. Captured at booking, it is a field; discovered on the day, it is an hour.
One more guest can cost more than they pay — another vehicle, another guide, another van run. Retveno works it out per departure before you accept the booking.

You message every student to move them into the wind.
You move the lessons; each student gets the new time.
You juggle the rack in your head and hope it adds up.
Kite size and weight are on every booking, so you see the clash.
You guess the volume and the wrong board goes out.
Weight is a required field; the right board goes out.
You start two new conversations to find another day.
You move both bookings; the record and the notes go with them.
21:10 Still sorting tomorrow's kites against a notebook.
18:05 Tomorrow's rack is planned. You're out for the last of the wind.
Your evening back — tomorrow just needs a glance
Marketplaces take a commission or per-booking fee on sales you sourced yourself. Retveno is a flat monthly subscription with 0% commission — bring the customers over your own channels and keep every euro. Collect deposits with a one-click Stripe link and cut no-shows with automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders.
Set each one up as its own tour with its own capacity, so a kite lesson, a windsurf lesson and a board rental each know how many students or boards they can take. The seat limit is what stops the same kit being promised to two people on the same afternoon, whichever discipline booked it first.
No. Keep taking bookings on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger exactly as you do today. Connect your channels once and booking messages turn into ready-to-confirm bookings automatically.
Lessons and rentals depend on skill level, weight and wind conditions, so capturing them at booking keeps your instructors and gear matched to each session — a kite size on one board, a sail size and board volume on the other. In Retveno those are custom fields you define per tour — for this one, typically skill level, weight, kite or sail size, board volume, lesson vs rental. They arrive filled in on the booking, appear on the departure manifest, and export to CSV with everything else.
