Before you PADLL out...
PADLL is a surf photo & video service. Book a session, and we’ll capture you from land, air or water while you surf. You’ll get a curated set of high-quality photos or videos to keep and share.
Our creators film from a variety of angles depending on the conditions and your session. This can include the beach, the water (swimming or using water housings), or even from the sky using drones. When booking, you’ll see what equipment each creator uses so you know exactly what to expect.
A typical session lasts 1 hour, but it can vary depending on the package, the conditions, and the creator’s availability. When booking, you’ll see the exact session length and any extra options available - like extended time.
You can book in two ways:
- Paddle Out Now: Book instantly with available creators nearby — perfect for last-minute sessions.
- Plan Your Session: Schedule in advance for future surf trips or specific time slots. We recommend booking at least 24–48 hours ahead to ensure availability, especially in popular spots.
Booking a session is simple:
- Sign up and choose your surfer profile.
- Head to "Paddle Out Now" to book a nearby creator instantly — or use "Plan Your Session" to schedule for later.
- Browse available creators, check their style, gear, and reviews.
- Select your time, spot, and confirm your booking — that’s it!
- You’ll get notified when your creator accepts, and your session is locked in.
It depends on the creator you book — but you’ll always get high-quality surf content. That could include:
Before booking, you’ll see each creator’s gear, style, and past work so you know exactly what you’re getting. You can also message them to align on your vision.
- Action shots from the beach or water
- Aerial footage from drones
- Edited clips or raw files, depending on the package
- Photo carousels, slow-mo cutbacks, barrels, and more

We can’t control ocean conditions or crowds — but we do our best to make the most of your time in the water. If the surf is completely flat or unworkable, we’ll help you reschedule.
We’ll shoot from a fixed spot, and we’ll text you right before your session. You’ll also fill out a few details (like wetsuit or board color) so we can spot you easily in the lineup.
Yes, 100%! You can browse available creators, check out their portfolios, gear, ratings, and style — then choose the one that fits your vibe. Whether you're into drone shots, water angles, or classic beach zooms, you’re in control of who captures your surf.
No random pairings — it’s your session, your choice.
Prices vary depending on the creator, location, session length, and type of footage you’re looking for. Each photographer sets their own rates, so you’ll always see the full price before you book — no surprises.
You can find sessions starting from around €25–€40 for basic coverage, and more premium packages (like drone + edit) may go higher.
Whatever your budget, there’s a creator ready to capture your surf.
Yes, you can! Many creators offer group packages, perfect if you’re surfing with friends or part of a trip. Just select “Group Session” when booking, and you’ll be able to specify the number of surfers and see pricing upfront.
It’s a great way to split the cost, get more footage, and capture everyone’s best waves. You can even get a shared gallery or individual clips for each surfer — just coordinate with your creator through the in-app chat.
Delivery times can vary depending on the creator and the type of content, but most sessions are delivered within 24 to 72 hours.
📸 Raw photos or clips are usually sent faster.
🎬 Edited videos or curated galleries may take a bit longer — your creator will let you know the estimated delivery time before the session.
You'll receive everything directly in the app, ready to view, download, or share.
Yes — but it depends on when you cancel. We offer a flexible cancellation policy to keep things fair for both surfers and creators:
- Full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before your session.
- Partial refund if you cancel within 24 hours, depending on the creator’s policy.
- No refund if you don’t show up without notice.
If conditions are bad (no waves, storms, etc.), most creators are happy to reschedule or offer a credit. Just reach out via the in-app chat — we’re here to help.
Only if you give us permission. Your content is yours, and we’ll always ask for your consent before sharing any footage or photos for marketing purposes.
If you do choose to let us feature your waves, we’ll tag you and credit the creator — it’s a great way to showcase your session and support the community. 🤙
