Frequently asked

I've never surfed — can I still learn?

Absolutely. Most of Phi's students start from zero. Taking off on a soft-top longboard during the first session is completely normal here.

Do I need to bring my own gear?

No. Phi provides the full kit: kite, board, bar and lines, harness, helmet, and an impact vest if needed. Just bring swimwear, reef-friendly sunscreen, and a water bottle.

When is the best time to learn?

The Northeast-monsoon season runs November to April — steady side-onshore wind averaging 15–25 knots. The strongest and most consistent period is December to February. Summer (May–October) still has wind but it's less reliable; the surf season actually improves.

How much does a lesson cost?

Prices depend on duration and group size. Message Phi with your dates and level — he'll send a quote back, usually within the hour.

Where do lessons take place?

Around Malibu and the Mũi Né beaches (Phan Thiết, Bình Thuận). Phi picks the best spot on the day depending on wind direction, swell, and your level.
