On this healthy and fun surf holiday, you will not only learn about the ocean, waves, and how to surf, but also enjoy Thai massages, make new friends, and experience Thai’s local culture. Upon arrival at your hotel, kick off those traveling shoes and jump into the swimming pool as you give yourself a high five for making the best decision of the year for coming to Thailand.
In the following morning after your breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the beach. You will enjoy your first surf lesson where your surf instructor will be with you for the whole time. They will guide you and improve your surf technique throughout your lessons.
After the surf lesson, you will enjoy a traditional Thai massage and can chill out at the number of stylish beach clubs. You can either race straight back into the water and keep surfing on your own with the free use of our surfboards or go back to your hotel and chill out.
For the rest of the week, you will be given a surf lesson each day and have the free use of the boards to keep surfing and practicing what you have learned. Talay Surf School instructors will be on hand all day every day to answer any questions you may have and also give you recommendations of other things to do while you stay in Phuket.
Typical day
The surf lessons are always scheduled around the most ideal tide and wave conditions to give you the best experience. This means we won’t know the exact times of your lesson on any a particular day until closer to the date of your arrival.
After you have make your booking and paid your deposit, Talay Surf School will send you an email with all your booking details including a contact number of your surf instructor who will keep you updated on the exact time of your lessons closer to the date of your arrival. Once you have arrived and settled into your accommodation, the instructor will advise you of the pick up time to go surfing the next day.
On your surf days when you arrive to the beach, the instructor will go guide you through a warm up to get your body ready for surfing. They will then spend some time with you on the sand teaching you the necessary steps and techniques of how to stay safe while paddling and standing up to catch waves. The instructor will then guide you into the water and help you get onto some fun waves.
Each lesson is 1.5 hours which includes warm up, on sand practice, in water practice and breaks. You will have an opportunity to ask as many questions as you need as your surf instructor helps develops your surf skills.
