Super beginner surf lessons and professional instructors
Jul 2014 • Couples
Had the best experience learning to surf with saltwater dreaming. The conditions are perfect for beginners located on bang thao beach. We quickly learn how to stand on the board, making the learning fun and at the same time progressing through the lessons. So thanks to Saltwater Dreaming for making our vacation fun and memorable.

Best Surf Instructor!!!
Jul 2018 • Solo
What to say? My daughter who is 12 and my friends son who is 15 were signed up for surf lessons on Bangtao Beach with Rick from Saltwater Dreaming. He showed an amazing ability to connect with young people. He was relaxed and easy going, and..... amazingly, he had both kids standing on the birds on their first wave!!!

I would recommend Rick anytime!! Next time we are back in Phuket, my daughter will be back looking to get Rick to take her out surfing for sure!! Can’t thank you enough!!

What a great day/way to learn
Aug 2015 • Friends
Rick is just a wonderful teacher and I can highly recommend his school for any new surfers. This was so much fun I wish I had sorted this school out my first day in Phuket and made arrangements to spend several days learning to surf. I was able to stand up multiple times during my first lesson and felt very comfortable and safe with Rick and his staff helping me. I feel I have the basics under my belt and can't wait to get home and show off my new skills.

Great activity for kids
Aug 2014 • Friends
Most people don't come to Thailand to go surfing, but Saltwater Dreaming operates in a very calm and beautiful beach area which is great for teaching people how to surf. Rick, the owner, doesn't just give you a board and send you out there... he takes his time and really teaches people how to paddle, catch waves, and stand up. He also teaches kids to respect the ocean and beach environment.

Great, professional outfit
Sep 2018 • Family
Rick explained everything we needed to know before hitting the water and was very calm and patient. I took my son along and we both loved it, despite the torrential rain!
We both managed to stand up and we will certainly take surfing up as something we can do together.
Thanks Rick and the team, you deserve every success!

Excellent instructors, highly recommended
Aug 2018 • Couples
Excellent instructors, very patient, clear instructions, very safe, my girlfriend doesn’t know how to swim but still be able to stand on the board on the first lesson, price is right. They provide everything so no need to bring many things, wear swimsuit is ok. If wear glasses remember to buy a strip at their shop to avoid losing it. A little bit far from Patong beach but we drove to their shop so not a big problem for us.

Great Intro to Surfing, No Hype
Aug 2018 • Couples
As many of the other reviews attest, Rick is a great instructor. He spent 30 minutes with me talking about surfing and waves and beach dynamics before we even went in the water. Unlike the other surf establishments I saw on Bangtao Bay that appear to just rent out boards to travelers and send them on their way into the waves, Rick takes the time to teach you to surf. I was up and surfing on the board with 10-15 minutes, thanks to his attentiveness. I will plan to spend another day (or two) on the water with him during our next visit to Bangtao Bay.
