WHO I AM:

LOCAL SIARGAO SURF COACH

Born and raised in Siargao, I started surfing at just 9 years old right here at Cloud 9. Surfing has shaped my life, and since 2010, I’ve been sharing that passion by coaching students from around the world.

I’m a certified surf coach through the Siargao Island Surfing Association (SISA), with over a decade of experience teaching both beginners and intermediate surfers how to ride with confidence.

What sets me apart is a coaching style rooted in deep respect for the ocean, clear communication, and personal connection. I take pride in helping each student improve their technique, build confidence, and better understand the waves — whether it’s your first time on a board or you’re improving your skills.

Let’s surf together in one of the best surf destinations in the Philippines.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY:

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Adria

“Best surf instructor I have ever had. We had such a good time surfing in Siargao thanks to Kaio. He helped us from the basics of surfing to advanced tips. Always paying attention on what we were doing wrong or we could do better, so each time we went to the water we did better and better. He also was super friendly. Our experience was 10/10. Trust me, you won’t regret surfing with Kaio.”

Jasmin

“Kaio is one of the most experienced, respected, skilled, and humble guys on the island and for good reason. If you want to catch waves he will get you on as many as possible, pushing you out of your comfort zone and improving super fast. He is an overall great guy to be around and really made the trip for my partner and I. He always took us to the best spots and gave the feedback we needed. I went from zero experience to catching my own green water wave in one week thanks to Kaio!!”

Thomas

“We had 4 hours with Kaio as a surf coach.
Kaio and his crew are very cool and introduced us to a new hobby. We went out by boat to a place that wasn’t very busy, so we had a lot of fun away from the crowd.
100% recommended at a fair price!!
Best surf coach.”
