Signature session
A 2-hour private lesson while the drone rolls above you. We finish on the sand with a video debrief — you see exactly what to fix, and you leave with the footage. Your first wave only happens once. Make sure it's on film.
Proof, not promises
Tell me your dates, level and what you're after — lesson, shoot, or both. I reply within [2] hours.
I match the day's swell and tide to your level. Beginners start on soft waves — Jacking Horse, not the reef.
Session runs 1–2h. Photos and film land in your Google Drive within 48 hours, edited.

"[The video debrief fixed my pop-up in one session. Worth every peso.]"
"[Shot our resort in one morning — aerials we now use on every platform.]"

Surf lessons · General Luna
[ISA/SISA]-certified coaching, max [1:2] ratio, spot chosen for your level and the day's tide. Board, rashguard and beach theory included.
Wave reading, tides, safety and pop-up drills on the beach — 20 minutes that save you an hour of wipeouts.
[1:1 or 1:2 max]. I position you, call your waves and push you in until you're paddling into your own.

Every lesson ends with what to work on next. Filmed packages include a video breakdown on the sand.

About
[Joseph's story — where he's from, how he found Siargao, why he stayed. 3 short paragraphs from the questionnaire. Tone: honest, specific, no fluff.]
[Paragraph 2 — the surfing years: first board, the spots that shaped him, becoming an instructor.]
[Paragraph 3 — the drone: why he started filming, what he looks for in a frame.]
Certified & safe
Why both?
Coaching taught me where a wave lets you in. Filming taught me where it looks alive. Doing both means your session is planned for the ride and the frame — one person who understands the wave from both sides of the lens.
Island first
Siargao gives everything to the people who visit it. I keep it simple: respect the lineup and the locals, pack out what we pack in, reef-safe sunscreen only, and part of every pro shoot goes to [local initiative — to confirm].
Contact
Dates, level, what you're after. I reply within [2] hours, [7 days a week]. Booking is a conversation, not a form.
