Spotted Lineup was born with a simple mission: to make it easier for photographers and surfers to connect.
If you surf, you know the struggle — getting good photos of yourself in the water isn't easy. Most of the time, your friends are out there catching waves with you. That's where photographers come in: unsung heroes who spend hours on the beach, under the sun, in the wind, rain, heat, or cold — all to capture our best moments on a wave.
Spotted Lineup is here to celebrate that connection — between those who ride waves and those who document the ride. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first day standing on a board, a great photo is something we all appreciate.
We’re two friends — a coder and a photographer — and both surfers. An Italian developer that moved to Portugal with a surfboard in one hand and a keyboard in the other. Building Spotted became a way to give something back to this amazing world — blending a passion for code with a love for surf culture. The main eye behind the lens (for now!) is a photographer from Slovakia that moved to Portugal. Her passion for surfing and photography is what brings this project to life. From capturing those fleeting moments on the waves to helping shape the design, her creativity and dedication were key in turning this idea into something real.
