My surfing experience with AMA Surfing was truly fantastic! As a beginner, I really appreciated how patient my teacher, Vidushan, was. He provided a lot of help, and his guidance ultimately allowed me to stand on my own, which made the whole experience incredibly worthwhile. The local rate was very fair and offered excellent value for money. Although they typically offer an hour in the water, Vidushan generously gave me an extra ten minutes without any additional charge. Vidushan was an exceptional teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Thank you, AMA Surfing!

Surfing experience was amazing as a beginner!
On our trip to Sri Lanka in April 2026 I wanted to try Surfing but didn’t have much time to join their 3-7 day training course. When I told AMA surfing about my time constraints they offered me a 75 min beginners session at a very reasonable rate and I really enjoyed surfing
. The instructors Ashi,Naveen and Achi guided me really well with warm ups and safety drills.After 30 minutes of training (warm ups + safety drills + standing up on the board) we went to the sea where the waves were beginner friendly! For nearly 45 minutes I was inside the sea with the instructor trying my luck at surfing! The instructor was also very friendly and motivated me to keep trying! With his guidance and support I could manage to stand and balance on the wave board for few minutes (and multiple times) which I can proudly say! For those who don’t know surfing this is the best way to try your luck in a short span of time! Totally recommend AMA school!

Great.
Very good surf initiation with theoretical short time heating and accompaniment in the water.
Perfectly suitable for children.
Super instructor with Vidu Chama and Passi

Disappointed
Went to book a private surf lesson, explained I was nervous of the sea, which they laughed at. I started to get dressed but ended up leaving as I was subsequently ignored and the vibes just felt off. When they asked why I was leaving I explained again that I was nervous which led to the instructor laughing again and heading over to the rest to laugh some more. I am so disappointed that this was the first surf school I tried as left me feeling super deflated. I walked on down the beach and found somewhere more welcoming. Wouldn't recommend this school, especially if you would like a patient instructor.

Awesome surf class
I had a great class at AMA. Teachers explained all the technique very well and then my instructor Chris helped me switch quickly to hard board.
Will totally come back here

10/10!!
The boys are very nice, and for $20 they offer you a 75min class practically individual (1 teacher for 2 people). They teach you for 10 minutes the basic technique and the rest of the hour you will be in the water with them next door. Highly recommended, even being a beginner (we are)
