What People Are Saying
Loved it! Great lessons, wonderful instructor & team!
We just got back from 2-day beginner sessions and we loved it! Rick (head instructor) and his team was just amazing. They were very good and certainly know what they are talking about! They patiently taught us and helped us (so much) throughout the sessions. We will definitely go back soon!
Fantastic! Great teacher
He is a very professional surf coach who starts off by teaching the basics to give you an understanding of the waves, water and surf before getting into the water.
He was always patient and from the first day I could stand up and ride a wave
Now I go back for a session and still he can really help me each time
Highly recommended!
Definitely Recommend It!
Great experience learning surf from scratch, thanks to the good advices from the instructor (Rick) and his team. I definitely recommend it. Wide choice of surfing equipment, accessories and clothing available at the surfshop.
Super beginner surf lessons and professional instructors
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.

Easily the Most Fun I’ve Had at the Beach… Ever!
The coaching here goes far beyond the technical aspects of surfing and gets really deep into respecting the ocean and embracing the sport.
Fantastic introduction to surfing, I’m hooked… I’ll be returning shortly to pick up a board of my own!

Best Surf Instructor!!!
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!!!
