Surfing Instructors

The Team

Our surfing instructors love to surf. We can surf, and we dedicate our time to chasing the waves and spending time in the ocean with family and friends. The first priory for any instructor with surfing Hong Kong is have a genuine love of surfing, first and foremost, and to have a strong surfing ability in a variety of conditions. Instructors must have integrity, maturity and understand that safety is of the utmost priority.

Any instructor from Surfing Hong Kong is chosen not only for their surfing ability, but also for their maturity, integrity, personality, their local knowledge of the beach, commitment to safety and a positive attitude. We are at the liberty to choose the best and having surfed on this beach for over 20 years I know who I can trust to deliver a quality lesson, whether it is a nervous 5 year or a student who is not 100% comfortable in the ocean.

The ocean can change fast, a happy time can change into a dangerous situation in the blink of an eye. We are always checking the changing conditions, hence local knowledge is very important. You don’t want to have your safety in the hands of an instructor who may not have the strength, knowledge and ability to recognize potential dangers fast, and act accordingly.

On another note, in recent years, various surf instructors have begun teaching lessons in Hong Kong, and it is with great frustration to see that many of these instructors cannot surf them selves, or at least they can only surf to a very basic level. There are other good surf schools operating, but please do your research and make sure these “instructors” are what they say they are. Do your research, make your comparison, ask around, and I am confident that we will be seeing you soon.

    Love my experience with Surf HK!! Learned surfing for a while now. I have surfed in Mexico, Hawaii, US, Thailand and always had experiences hiring someone to go with me as I still have so much to learn when it comes to surfing. The thing I have learned is that you can’t fake passion for surfing. Additionally, you may be good at surfing but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a good teacher. No doubt Antony is both. He has taken it to a whole different level when it comes to teaching. The level of commitment he showed in helping me getting better is very apparent. Seriously, do u want ur surfing experience to be enjoyable, amazing and really developing that into a habit, instead of just popping up on ur board for once and done? If you’re the former, go with this guy. This is the guy.

    Antony is a very good coach, great surfer, very ​professional, ​patient and observant. With Antony's coaching, I have some key breakthrough and manage to catch some unbroken waves. He’s always helpful no matter whether I am asking for advice for buying a surfboard or picking a destination for surf holiday. I would highly recommend Antony for anyone who would like to take surf lessons in Hong Kong.

    Antony Dickson has been my Indonesian, Hawaiian and elsewhere surf partner on at least one trip a year for the past 19 years for good reason: He is always challenging himself and those around him to push their limits yet his enthusiasm is always tempered by a belief of keeping safety of paramount importance - he's always the first to offer help in critical conditions when a leash or board snaps. His smooth, powerful and emminently competent surfing style excels in waves waist-high to triple overhead but he's much more than a surfer. Antony's passion for the ocean runs deep and he surf skis, dives and is a third generation competitive swimmer. I witnessed his tenacity firsthand providing paddle support in a surf ski when he finished fourth in a 15km open ocean race, HK's most prestigious event of its kind, all while solo'ing against relay teams of four. Antony has accrued vast knowledge on preparation and water safety on his global surf sojourns and more importantly, he enjoys sharing it. Combined with swim and paddle techniques and tips, he is much more than just a surf instructor.

    I am very thankful I joined surfing Hong Kong. The instructor Antony was very professional, took great care of me, and believe it or not I was up and surfing within about 15 minutes. I love surfing and owe thanks to surfing Hong Kong for getting me surf ready. :)

    When I had my lesson the waves were quite large so the instructor insisted that we needed one instructor per student for safety. It was really fun but I felt safe, and after a few waves I managed to stand up and ride all the way to the beach. After this lesson, I continued practicing surfing, and now I get in the water as often as I can. Excellent job Antony!
