Private Surf photography and videography sessions

Capture your surfing moments in Cabo San Lucas with professional photos and videos. Private, high-quality sessions ideal for all skill levels.

Thinking of turning your surfing adventure in Cabo into a lasting memory? Or maybe you want to see how you look riding those waves like a pro? The private surf photography and videography sessions offered here are designed for just that—professional-quality photos and videos of your water-bound exploits, tailored to your schedule and skill level. This experience is as much about capturing fun moments as it is about enhancing your surf skills.

What makes this tour stand out? First, you get personalized attention in a private setting—only your group participates, which means more time with the camera and less waiting. Second, the professional gear—Canon 7D and 7D Mark II cameras with L-series lenses—ensures sharp, dynamic images and smooth videos from water and sand. It’s a great way to document your trip or improve your surf with high-quality visual feedback.

However, one potential consideration is cost. At $200 for a group of up to four people, it’s an investment, but one that many reviews suggest is well worth the value, given the professional quality of the photos and the convenience of private service. If you’re serious about surfing or eager to capture your best moments, this experience is likely to be right up your alley.

This tour is best suited for travelers who want to document their surf sessions, improve their skills visually, or simply have fun with friends or family on the water. It’s suitable for all levels—beginners, intermediates, or seasoned surfers—thanks to the flexible, personalized approach.

How the Session Works

Your adventure begins in Cabo San Lucas, a beach town legendary for its stunning coastline and consistent surf. Once booked, the experience includes door-to-door service—the team will pick you up from your hotel or meeting point—making the process smooth and hassle-free. They provide all necessary gear, including professional Canon cameras with specialized lenses like the 100-400mm for detailed shots, an 8-15mm fisheye for dramatic wide-angle and action shots, and a 17-40mm wide-angle for broader scenic captures.

The photos are taken throughout your surfing session, not just at the beginning or end, so you get a comprehensive collection of shots. These images can be used to review your technique, boost your confidence, or simply remember the thrill of catching waves in Cabo.
