Description
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.
