YOU CAN'T STOP THE WAVES BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO SURF
SOUTH COAST
WHAT ABOUT THE SEASON?
We welcome you in the southern coast of Sri Lanka, from November to April.
Beginner, intermediate or advanced
We offer surf lessons tailored to all levels, whether you're a beginner looking to have the basics of surfing, an intermediate wishing to refine your technique, or an advanced surfer seeking more technical challenges and improvement.
Our lessons are designed to cover essential surfing fundamentals and advanced techniques based on your skill level, with a strong emphasis on ocean safety. Each session includes the use of quality equipment such as surfboards and rash guards, ensuring a comfortable and secure experience.
To ensure high-quality instruction and safety, our lessons maintain a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:4/5 depending of the level. Our instructors are experienced, ISA certified and passionate enthusiasts, available to guide you through every step of your progression. They personalize each lesson to meet your individual needs, whether you're a novice seeking to stand up on a board for the first time or an experienced surfer looking to perfect advanced techniques.
Lessons are scheduled to accommodate your schedule and preferences, with morning and afternoon sessions available, to the extent possible and subject to availability. For your convenience and safety, you can easily contact us online at any time to book your lessons, allowing you to plan your stay with ease.
