About this experience

Surf Lessons at Pasai Beach on Koh Yao Yai offer structured coaching for beginners and intermediates on a quiet, sandy stretch of Andaman Sea coastline. The lessons are run by local instructors who provide all necessary equipment and safety guidance. Each session focuses on wave reading, paddle technique, and pop-up mechanics, with the goal of getting you standing on the board.

What to expect

Two-hour lesson with a certified local instructor, including a 15-minute land drill before entering the water.
All equipment provided: soft-top surfboard, leash, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Class size limited to six students per instructor, ensuring individual feedback on your pop-up and paddling.
Suitable for first-timers and those who have tried surfing once or twice; no swimming certification required, but you must be comfortable in waist-deep water.
You will practice catching gentle, waist-high waves directly in front of Pasai Beach's sandy shore, with no rocks or reefs in the surf zone.
Post-lesson debrief includes video analysis of your session, with tips on how to practice on your own.
