We're one of Weligama's top-rated surf experiences — and our guests keep coming back. Unlike group lessons where you share an instructor with 8–10 people, this is fully private: just you and a dedicated local instructor in the water from start to finish. Our head instructor, Danny, is mentioned by name in dozens of reviews for his clear, technical coaching that gets beginners standing up fast and intermediate surfers progressing further than they expected. Weligama's gentle bay makes it the ideal place to learn — and we make the most of it.

What to expect

Learn to surf on one of Sri Lanka's most famous beginner beaches — Weligama's wide, crescent bay with soft, forgiving waves.

Your lesson starts with a beach session covering stance, paddling, and pop-up technique. Then your instructor joins you in the water for the full session, positioning you on waves and giving real-time corrections until you're riding on your own.

We match the break to your level and adjust the pace to your confidence — whether it's your first time ever or you're working to improve.

Private 1-on-1 instructor
Surfboard and leash
