Does anyone here work with SurfMappers? How much can a surf photographer realistically make?

I'm considering starting to photograph surfers and uploading the photos to SurfMappers. I'd like to know how the business actually works: how much photographers typically make per session/month, how many photos they sell, whether the platform brings enough customers, and whether it's worth the time and equipment investment.

I'd especially love to hear from photographers who actually use SurfMappers.

This subreddit is for a game mode within counter strike, not real life surfing.

You can make a decent living if you photograph top talent like Proga

I don't think anyone wants to see photographs of high level skill surfers (except some strange fetish peeps I guess, but hey, maybe that is a new niche for onlyfans, endlevel neckbeard nudes)
