Overview

Most surf lessons in Weligama give you 60 minutes session (water and theory). Our main option gives you a full 2-hour session — no rushing, no cutting the session short. That extra time is the difference between standing up once and actually surfing.
**Try our 90 min session for relax session

Sessions start at 6:30 AM when the bay is at its calmest and most uncrowded. You get the best conditions of the day, every single morning.

Groups are capped at 6 guests, so every student gets real attention. Your instructor is in the water with you throughout — not watching from the beach. You get immediate feedback on every wave, every pop-up, every turn.

Your lesson bundles let you build on each session day by day. The 5-lesson bundle is the fastest route from never having surfed to riding waves on your own. And if you want to go further, your all-inclusive surf camp adds accommodation, all meals, evening activities, and a full week programme — the most complete surf experience in Weligama.

What to expect

Learn to surf in Weligama — one of the best beginner surf spots in Asia and the most consistent beach break in Sri Lanka.

YOUR LESSON
Two hours on Weligama Bay with your certified instructor. We start on the beach — stance, paddling, wave reading, and safety — then straight into the water. Your instructor stays with you the entire session, coaching in real time, positioning you for waves and correcting your technique as you go. Most complete beginners are standing up and riding waves independently by the end of the session.

Surfboard and rash vest included. Sessions start at 6:30 AM when the bay is at its glassiest and most uncrowded — the best conditions of the day.

90 min Lesson: (Regular and relaxed)
Small group lesson — (max 6 guests)
Private 1-on-1 lesson (trail road to fast progress)
3-lesson bundle — (Three mornings, surf independently by the end)
