About Surf Ranch

The channel has about 8,600 subscribers and roughly 1.8 million lifetime views across 90 videos. Median views per video are about 164, while a few breakout videos carry most of the total, so audience size is best estimated as small and concentrated among travel, surf and skateboarding viewers, with a likely skew toward English speakers in the United States and Canada. Uploads are infrequent, with about three in the past year.
