Activity itinerary

Single Lesson: A private One-to-one session with a dedicated instructor in the water with you the entire time. Beach warm-up, then straight into the waves. Most beginners stand up on their first try. Surf Camp (3, 5, or 7 days): Everything handled — daily surf lessons, surfboard, accommodation (dorm or private room), breakfast and dinner, and airport/hotel transfers. Just show up and surf. Choose your location: Weligama (south coast, gentle beginner waves, Nov–Apr) or Arugam Bay (east coast, legendary breaks, May–Oct). Single lesson includes: Board, leash, rash guard, and instructor. Camp includes: All lessons, board, accommodation, meals, and transfers. No experience needed. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
