Welcome

Personalized surf coaching in the heart of Siargao

Whether you're catching your first wave or refining competition technique, our team brings two decades of experience, from Philippine national championships to ISA judging, to every session at Cloud 9 and the surrounding breaks. SPF Surfcoaching was founded by Allan Derecho, our head coach.

As a small surf school focused on quality over quantity, we work closely with each surfer to match the ocean's conditions to your goals. Families trust us with children as young as four, while advanced surfers rely on structured coaching, video analysis, and land-based training to unlock their next breakthrough.
