Surfing course 5 days - I did a 5-day surfing course with Talay. My surfing instructor Pop was super friendly and tried to teach me step by step. This meant that after 2 days I was able to switch to a hardboard. My safety was always taken into account and I managed to surf very well, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun with Pop. I will miss it. Thanks Pop.

Great lesson - Great experience with Flook and Pop. They will work with you to find techniques that are most helpful to you. Great time with the lesson, wasn’t a huge fan of the cleanliness of the beach during the visit.

Awesome instructors and an afternoon of fun! - Had been wanting to try surfing for a long time and Skylas came up as a beginner-friendly surf club! They didn’t disappoint at all as the instructors were friendly, patient and encouraging! Instructors were close by all the time in the water, so those less confident in swimming can be assured that you are in good hands! We never ventured further than chest to neck high waters in any case.
We were blessed with great weather and bangtao beach in Phuket is known to have friendly waves that are not too challenging for beginners to ride. The surf school is also conveniently located just outside Catch Beach Club so friends or loved ones that do not want to engage in the sport can relax. It also provides for ease of washing off with a shower and changing rooms available for use!
Definitely recommend Skylas for anyone that wants to try out surfing!

15 days very disappointing for the quality of the waves - I'm talking here generally about what we find in Phuket. Schools are mainly located in Kata Beach and also Patong. You will find a lot of friendly instructors but the waves, in our case, were unfortunately almost impassable for 15 days (too strong swell) and renting a board for a week was ultimately not profitable. At best we practiced 1 or 2 hours maximum per day. You can have fun, but it's certainly not a surfing mecca.

Don’t book , no lesson, instructor “forgot” - Don’t book!
We got 1.5 hour taxi to the meeting spot, no one there for 40 minutes, then someone came and said the location had changed (but they handnt told us) then they said it would be cancelled as the waves were to small which is understandable but we asked why he didn’t text or call to tell us, he then admitted the real issue was he had forgotten about the lesson.
We had to pay another 1.5 hour taxi back.
We rescheduled for another day and was cancelled again.
I understand it is weather permitting but this was not the case here, as it was cancelled 45 mins after due to start.
So we got nothing for our booking and paid for 4x expensive taxi to get there and back due to poor communication.
There are plenty of cheap surf schools in phucket for half or less of the price so book directly for a better service

Beware~: scam! - I booked this for myself and my partner & paid well in advance.
When we got there not only is there no club but we were told me couldn't proceed with surfing due to the bad weather conditions. The guy, Tim, told us we would get a refund.
Two weeks have passed by and still no refund.
They had been communicating with me on the lead up to the excursion. Why wasn't I informed even a few hours before the lesson that they had cancelled it? I spent a fortune just travelling to the Surf "Club".
The whatsapp number they provided is now non-existent i.e. no one responds or picks up.
