Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

LaunchPoint SUP is free to use. To keep it that way, some of the links and listings on this site earn us money. We want to be completely upfront about how — here's the full picture.

Gear / affiliate links

Some links to products (for example on our Gear page and in articles) are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, and through other affiliate programs, we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases you make after clicking — at no additional cost to you. We only feature gear we would genuinely recommend to a friend.

Local outfitters & referral links

On our launch-spot pages we list independent local outfitters (rentals, guided tours, and lessons). Links to these businesses may be referral links, and some businesses pay for a “Featured” placement, which is always labeled as such. A paid placement never changes the safety information, hazards, or conditions we show for a spot.

Our promise

Money never changes our safety guidance. Conditions, hazards, tide and storm information, and launch details are editorial and independent of any advertiser. If we wouldn't send our own family there, we'll tell you.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Questions? Reach out through the app.
