Surf Session Filming
You surf. We film from the air, close enough to read the wave and far enough to stay out of your way. Every session is flown by Jasper, an FAA Part 107 certified commercial drone pilot and a surfer himself, so the camera is where a surfer would want it.
The Full Session
- Special right now: $299 for the full session (regular price $400).
- Up to 3 hours of filming, flown as one continuous block on a single day. The block cannot be split or broken up, and unused time is not refunded, so pick a day with a forecast you like.
- Every wave we capture is delivered as clips in a private online gallery, ready to download and share.
- Add a reel edit for $50 to $75: one vertical, ready-to-post cut of your best waves, with music and pacing handled.
The weather promise
Surf filming lives and dies by conditions. If the surf is flat or the wind makes flying unsafe or the footage unusable, we do not fly and you do not pay. We reschedule for free, as many times as the ocean makes us.
How it works
- Book a day and tell us which surf break or beach, plus anything we should know about the session.
- We check the forecast, the tides, and the airspace for that spot, and confirm the plan with you before the day.
- You surf your session while we film from the air.
- Your clips land in a private online gallery, and your reel edit follows if you added one.
Good to know
- Sessions run anywhere on Oahu. Remote and offshore breaks may launch from a boat or from private property with permission, which we arrange with you in advance.
- Airspace rules come first. Some spots sit in controlled airspace with altitude limits, and a few cannot be flown legally at all. If your first choice does not work, we will suggest the closest spot that does.
