The Surf Creator System

Turn your surfing
into content that pays.

I've spent 10+ years filming POV surf content that's reached 150M+ views. These 5 guides are the exact system I use — from camera setup to brand deals — so you can build a surf creator business from scratch.

No fluff. No theory. Just the step-by-step process that works.

The Promise

In 90 days you'll go from filming random clips to running a surf creator brand that attracts brands, grows an audience, and generates income.

Film like a pro

The exact camera, mount, settings, and angles behind 150M+ views.

Grow your audience

Post strategy, caption frameworks, and the 90-day plan that actually works.

Land brand deals

Pitch templates, rate cards, and how to get paid to surf.

My Guarantee

Apply the system for 90 days. If you don't see real growth, I'll personally review your account and tell you exactly what to fix — free.

These guides are built on a decade of trial, error, and 150M+ views. The system works. If you follow it and don't see results, reach out and I'll get on it with you directly.

Bundle Bonus

The 90-Day Surf Creator Plan — Included Free with the Bundle

A day-by-day posting and filming schedule for your first 90 days. Exactly what to post, when to post it, and how to track growth. This is the guide that turns the other four into a system.

Valued at $47 · Included free when you buy all 5 guides.

The Cost of Waiting

Every week you post without a system is a week your competitors are pulling ahead. The surf creator space is growing fast — the accounts that build an audience now will be the ones brands approach in 12 months. The ones who wait will be starting from zero.

What Surf Creators Are Saying

Real results from surfers who've used the system.

Guide 01Your Setup Guide

I've been filming surf for 3 years and always wondered why my footage looked flat. The settings table alone was worth 10x the price. First session after reading this — completely different results.

Guide 01Your Setup Guide

The mouth mount section changed everything for me. I'd been using a chest mount for two years. Switched it up and my POV footage finally looks like Dan's. Wish I'd found this sooner.

Guide 02Film a Session Guide

The pre-session shot list is something I never thought about. I used to just paddle out and hope for the best. Now I go in with a plan and I'm getting 3x more usable clips per session.

Guide 02Film a Session Guide

The section on reading light direction was a game changer. I always filmed in the afternoon and wondered why my clips looked washed out. Morning sessions only now — the difference is insane.

Guide 03Editing Workflow Guide

I used to spend 2 hours editing a single clip and still wasn't happy with it. Dan's 5-step process got me down to 20 minutes and the quality is better. The colour grade settings are exact — no guessing.

The caption framework is something nobody talks about. I copied the structure and my first post using it got 3x my normal views. Simple but it works.

Guide 04Brand Deals Guide

Landed my first brand deal 6 weeks after reading this. Used the pitch email template almost word for word. A local surf brand reached back within 48 hours. $400 in product for one post.

The 10-point profile audit made me realise my page looked like a mess. Spent a weekend fixing it. My engagement rate went up and I started getting inbound DMs from brands within a month.

Guide 05The 90-Day Plan

I'd been posting randomly for two years with no growth. The 90-day plan gave me a structure I could actually follow. By month 2 I'd doubled my followers and had two brands reach out.

Guide 05The 90-Day Plan

The milestone tracker kept me accountable in a way I didn't expect. Seeing 28 posts checked off at the end of Month 1 felt incredible. The daily posting target is hard but it works.
