What TWINS CLUB does

Twins Club vzw is a Belgian non-profit association (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk) operating an integrated beach club and certified watersports school on Koninklijke Baan in Bredene, on the North Sea coast near Oostende. The club runs seasonally from Easter through mid-October and is officially recognized as 'Beste surfclub van België' (Best Surf Club of Belgium). It organizes the 25th Open Belgian Championship Patin à Vela in 2026 and is affiliated with WWSV (Vlaamse Wind- en Watersportfederatie), which provides federation insurance and race licenses to all annual members. The operation is staffed by 8 employees under a board of approximately 13 directors.

The product portfolio spans annual memberships (Full Membership €150–€320+ across student/individual/duo/family/grandparent tiers, plus child add-ons), Short Stay day passes (€45–€90) and Short Stay Plus upgrades, week-long summer surf camps (Surfmix €264 for ages 7–11, Allsurf €274 for ages 12–16), schoolsport programs (€1,440 minimum for up to 60 students, capacity 120), group and corporate teambuilding workshops (€40–€60/person/hour), Peak Lounge MICE venue rental (from €600, capacity 6–120), five specialized training teams (Young Guns, Longboard Girls, Windsurf Rascals, Patin Juniors, Vitamin Sea), Surfers Bar and catering, and annual storage cage and mooring rentals (€220–€340). The club also runs 10+ annual events including BK Patin, Roxy Day, Grom Cup, Defender Cup, Wingfoil Cup, Sea King Swimrun, Beach Run, and Surf's Up (G-sport). Partnerships include Quiksilver, Roxy, Sport Vlaanderen, WWSV, and the municipality of Bredene.

The business model combines subscription-style recurring revenue (annual memberships, storage/mooring, bar top-ups) with high-volume transactional revenue (day passes, camps, schoolsport, corporate events, event registration fees). All sales are direct-to-consumer via the company's own website (membership.twinsclub.be), on-site at the beach club, or via third-party registration platforms (campforms.app, manage2sail, star-tracking.be); no third-party resellers or distributors are used. The technology stack contains no proprietary platform — operations depend on standard third-party SaaS for analytics, registrations, and weather data. Customer segments are diversified across individual/family members, youth surf camp participants, schools, corporate clients, private groups, adaptive-sports participants, and competitive event entrants, yielding low customer concentration but high weather and seasonality exposure.
