SURFEN
Are you looking for the perfect place to surf in Sri Lanka? You have come to the right place. We will guide you to the best surf spots for your level and help you improve your skills in a comprehensive and supportive way.
We like to do things a little differently. From the beautiful surroundings of our guesthouse and the nearby surf breaks to our certified surf coaches and high-quality equipment, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in the region. That’s why we have carefully designed our surf coaching programs to ensure you get the most out of your time in the water during your stay with us.

VIDEO ANALYSIS & SURF THEORY
Our surf programs are comprehensive, including not only plenty of time in the water, but also video analysis, personalized feedback, and surf theory classes delivered by our team throughout the week. Each session is progressive and goal-oriented, tailored to the individual needs of every participant. At the end of each session, your coach will sit down with you to review your progress and discuss the new skills you’ve learned and how to continue improving.
We are careful not to mix different ability levels. To ensure the best possible learning experience, we maintain a maximum 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio at all times. This means you’ll never have to wait for others to catch up or feel left behind – everyone progresses at the right pace.

LOCATION & SURF CHECK
Sri Lankas Südwestküste ist ein Wellengarten mit mehr als 15 Surfspots, die vom Camp aus leicht zu erreichen sind, wobei die meisten Breaks innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu erreichen sind.
Every morning we will do a surf check online and with our local surfing friends and decide which beaches to head to. This will depend on factors such as the ability level of each group, and the swell conditions. This means that the chances are high that you’ll have ideal conditions whatever level of surfer you are.
We have many 4 main breaks in walking distance from the camp. Check them out here.
DEIN ERSTER SURF-KURS
Some people feel completely confident in the waves, while others are a little intimidated by being out in the ocean. Either way, everyone – without exception – loves their first day surfing.
Your first lesson takes place at Weligama Beach, one of the best beginner-friendly surf spots in southern Sri Lanka. With warm water, a soft sandy bottom, shallow areas, and no dangerous marine life or strong currents, it’s the perfect place to start your surfing adventure.
We will begin on the beach with a warm-up and an introduction to the surf break and your beginner board. Your coach will then guide you through the basics: lying on the board in the correct position, paddling, and popping up – or, if needed, an alternative method like the 4-step technique. After learning essential safety techniques to keep you confident and secure in the waves, it’s time to hit the water and start surfing.
Your first day will wrap up with a summary of the skills you will be building on during the week and a preview of what’s coming next. By the end of the week, most beginners are ready to catch waves on their own – so the real fun is just beginning!
VIDEO ANALYSIS & SURF THEORY
In addition to plenty of time in the water, you will also benefit from video analysis (available from a minimum of three lessons) and surf theory classes, which are included for everyone. You can download your videos for free the following day and save them as a fantastic keepsake from your surfing adventure.
Both the video analysis and theory sessions are incredibly helpful, allowing you to see what you did well, spot areas for improvement, and apply those lessons in your next session.
FINDE DEIN LEVEL
LEVEL 1.1 Totaler Anfänger
LEVEL 1.2: AnfängerIn, der/die schon ein paar Mal Surfen war
Dies ist ein herausforderndes Level für beide – dich und unseren Coach –, denn in einigen Surfschulen, die du vielleicht zuvor besucht hast, unterscheiden sich die verwendeten Techniken von denen, die wir verwenden. Wir unterrichten nach der bewährten ISA-Lehrmethode.
In dieser Phase konzentrieren wir uns auf:
– Gemeinsam mit dir die Grundlagen wiederholen und mit den zuvor erlernten Methoden vergleichen (Stufe 1.1)
– Präzisierung deiner Position für mehr Balance und Verbesserung deiner Take-Off- und Paddeltechnik
– Theorie zu den grundlegenden Phasen einer Welle und die Form einer Welle am jeweiligen Strand
– Die richtige Positionierung im Line-Up, um ungebrochene Wellen zu erwischen
– Wie man die Welle schräg anpaddelt und von links oder rechts in eine ungebrochene Welle kommt
– Lernen, je nach Wellenabschnitt zu verlangsamen oder zu beschleunigen
– Die richtige Haltung auf dem Board
LEVEL 1.3: Fortgeschrittener Anfänger
Du bist jetzt schon mehr als ein paar Tage gesurft und verstehst die Wellen und dein Board und fühlst dich die meiste Zeit im Wasser sicher.
Du hast mehr Kontrolle darüber, die Wellen zu bekommen und über deine Position, kannst aber nur geradeaus surfen.
In dieser Phase konzentrieren wir uns auf:
– Wiederholung der Grundlagen von Level 1.1 & 1.2
– Arbeiten am Wellenlesen und Positionieren im Line-Up
– Verbesserung des Take-Off-Winkels und der Position
– Erlernen der Grundlagen des Trimmings auf einer Welle, sich mittels Position der Welle anpassen
LEVEL 2.1: Anfänger Fortgeschrittener Surfer
Auf diesem Level hast du eine ziemlich gute Kontrolle über deine Paddeltechnik, bist in der Lage, hinauszupaddeln und ungebrochene Wellen zu nehmen und nach links oder rechts zu surfen. Du verstehst auch die Theorie der Wellen, des Surfens und die jeweiligen Bedingungen.
– Erzeugung von Geschwindigkeit auf der Welle
– Verbesserung der Wellenlesefähigkeit
– Duck-diving
– Verbesserung der Haltung für mehr Mobilität
– Bottom Turn & Top Turn Grundlagen
LEVEL 2.2: Mittelstufe Fortgeschrittener Surfer
Auf diesem Level hast du eine sehr gute Kontrolle über dein Board und kannst Turns machen, um die Richtung zu ändern. Du surfst ein Shortboard oder ein Mini-Mal-Surfboard.
Wir werden uns konzentrieren auf:
– Surfen und Beschleunigen auf verschiedenen Wellen
– Richtige Positionierung, um verschiedene Arten von Wellen zu nehmen
– Cutback-Manöver erlernen
– Technische Analyse deines Top Turns und Bottom Turns
– Floater-Manöver erlernen
– Verbesserung der Duck-diving Technik
If you’re not sure what level you’re at, don’t worry! We will figure it out together during check-in, or our instructors will assess your skills when you arrive and place you in the right group.
"Surfing soothes me. It's always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I'm on a wave."
HÄUFIG GESTELLTE FRAGEN
Lesson times are usually confirmed the evening before to make planning easier. The schedule depends on the best surf conditions for your level.
For Level 1 surfers, we typically start with soft-top boards during the first few days. Once you progress to advanced beginner level, your instructor may transition you to a hard-top board.
For Level 2 and above, we offer a range of hard-top boards to suit your ability and the current wave conditions.
If it’s your first time surfing – or if you’ve only had a lesson or two before – we’ll start with the basics. This includes an introduction to the surfboard and surf spot, a warm-up session, and a dry lesson on the beach covering pop-up technique and essential safety guidelines. After that, you’ll head into the water to catch your first waves in our warm, tropical ocean.
Sri Lanka’s southwest coast is like a wave garden, with more than 15 surf spots easily accessible from our camp – most of them within 10 minutes.
Each morning, we check the surf conditions online and consult with our local surf community before deciding which beach offers the best conditions. The final choice depends on the group’s ability level and the swell conditions, ensuring you get the best possible waves for your level.
Your instructor will take you to the surf spot offering the best conditions for the day. After an effective warm-up, your coach will demonstrate techniques, guide you in the water, and provide hands-on feedback to help you improve – while making sure you have an unforgettable time.
You definitely have a special connection with your own board. If it’s convenient for you to travel with it, you’re very welcome to bring it along.
Yes, the surfboard is included for the duration of your lesson. We also provide wetsuits when needed.
