The fear we work with
You will
not fall.
Beginners do not need experience at Bang Tao Beach. Super Pilot Pro starts waist-deep, life jacket on, Valerii on the throttle. You will even want to fall. You won’t. Twelve years. Not one injury.
12 yrs
This method. Phuket water. Valerii on the ski.
0
Accidents. Injuries. The number we actually care about.
Can't swim?
Life jacket on. We teach you how to breathe. Then the board.
How we keep you in the water
Half in. Then half a metre. Then five centimetres.
The view from the deck is the lie. You do not jump. You do not get thrown. You stand in the water and he feeds the power one correction at a time.
01
Life jacket. Then breath.
Even if you cannot swim. Vest first. Then we teach you how to breathe. That is the order. Not the other way around.
02
Five-minute brief. Free.
How the board lifts, what a thumbs-up means, how to fall. You already know roughly what to do before you step on.
03
Waist-deep.
Half the body in the water. Half out. The board is still underwater. Valerii is on the throttle and corrects every movement while you are still in.
04
Knees. Then five centimetres.
He lifts half a metre — knees out, still in the water. Corrects again. Then another half metre. You come out as if you are standing on it. Five centimetres. Not the sky. Not yet.
The loop. First language of the board.
How long to hover
Time on the board is the product.
Fifteen minutes is a taste. Twenty and twenty-five if you want more water. Thirty is a flight. Tandem is three minutes with the instructor — for kids and women, no learning curve.
| Session | From | For |
|---|---|---|
| Private lesson · 15 min | 3,000 THB | Dock brief, first hover, first height. The shortest honest session. |
| Private lesson · 20 min | 3,500 THB | More time on the board after the first hover. |
| Private lesson · 25 min | 4,000 THB | Longer private session: hover, turn, start to land. |
| Private lesson · 30 min | 5,000 THB | The session most guests book. Hover, turn, land. You leave having flown. |
| Tandem · 3 min (flight with the instructor, for kids and women) | 2,000 THB | The instructor flies. You ride. Three minutes of the show feeling — no learning curve. |
Helmet, life jacket, board, hose, and PWC included. Bang Tao hydroflight and calm-water sites preferred. Hotel-pool lessons by arrangement. English and Russian.
