Great Surf School😄

Best surf school in weligama! I did multiple lessons here and always felt immediate improvement. The guys are great, fun and explain everything really well. Also nice to chill on the sunbeds after surf.

Great fun and amazing instructor

Before I came to Ride a Wave Surf School in Weligama, I’d had a few bad days surfing and was starting to lose confidence. Shan really helped me out — he made everything fun again while also giving me great technical advice that genuinely improved my surfing. Awesome instructor, great energy, and a really supportive atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve and have a good time in the water!

The best surfboard rental and surf school on the southern coast

The best surfboard rental on the southern coast – well equipped, with all boards new and in great condition. You can tell they really take care of them. This place is not just a rental, but also a proper surf school. I took lessons with Shan, and he’s an excellent teacher. We lived in Sri Lanka for three months and rented here exclusively the whole time. We'll definitely come back to surf with Shan again.

Not good experience

I had a lesson in January. It was the worst surf lesson ever. I recommend the surf school next door instead of this one.

Great one to one tuition

Great one to one tuition with our instructor. He took time to explain everything before we went into the water & stayed with us throughout.

Best surf lessons ever

Highly recommended! We had four surf lessons with SHAN. It was truly amazing. He is an excellent instructor. You learn and gain experience. He is the god of surfing!! For real! He takes the time to address each mistake individually. In our fourth lesson, we mastered surfing hard boards and executing precise turns. It was wonderful. SHAN was a funny guy and open-minded. We had a blast!
