Surf photos
Surf contests and sessions have photographers on the sand and in the water capturing every heat. On FotuNex, each event's photos are gathered on a single page, with images from every accredited photographer — and you find yours in seconds.
Surf events with photos
As soon as surf events are published, they show up here.
How to find your surf photos
The fastest way is selfie search: take a selfie or upload a photo of your face and the system shows only the images you appear in, from every photographer at the event. The selfie is used only for the search and is deleted right after.
Your heat time is the most useful filter, together with the beach spot when the event has more than one break. And if you prefer to browse, the event gallery has filters by time and by photographer, so you can go straight to the right moment.
Large previews, lossless original
Every photo opens large, with a watermark, so you can check the framing before buying. Pick as many as you like — when the photographer offers bundles, the cart applies the cheapest combination on its own.
After payment, the photos are in My downloads, without watermark, as the original file the photographer uploaded. Download them one by one or all at once in a ZIP file.
Tips for surf photos
Rash guards and distance from the sand make face recognition harder in some photos; combine the selfie with your heat time. Photos of you leaving the water usually show your face more clearly.
When surf photos are ready
Photographers start uploading right after the event — often while it's still happening, with live selling. Processing is automatic: watermarked previews are generated, faces are recognized and bib numbers are read in seconds. If you searched and found nothing yet, the photos may still be uploading.
To avoid checking back, use the event's Notify me button: you'll be alerted as soon as the photos are published. Account holders can also turn on photo alerts, which notify you whenever a new photo of you appears at any FotuNex event.
How much a surf photo costs
Each photographer sets the price of their own photos and often offers bundles: three photos, five photos or all your photos from the event for a fixed price. The cart picks the cheapest combination for what you selected and shows the savings before payment.
At some events the photos are free, offered by the organizer or a sponsor — then the download is free, with a sponsor frame. You can also use discount coupons and gift cards in the cart's coupon field.
Privacy in surf photos
The search selfie is treated as biometric data: used only to find your photos and deleted as soon as the search ends. Nobody but you sees your search result.
If you appear in a photo and don't want it for sale, use Remove my photo. We hide the photo in every event and reply within 2 business days; photos of minors are hidden immediately.
Do you shoot or organize surf events?
FotuNex handles the store, the payment and the photo delivery: the photographer uploads the images, participants find themselves and every sale lands in the balance. Organizers can offer photos for free, with sponsorship, or sell them and receive a share of each sale.
