It was awsome! Every single person was super nice first time surfing and I could stand up on my second wave! Shan was an amazing employee/instructer/ best friend he cheered me on and gave me a high five every time I caught a wave. If anyone is reading this it is so much better than what I’m saying it is!
Took my first surfing lesson here and immediately came back for a longer period to follow more lessons. The instructors are very professional, patient and supportive, and gave me a lot of confidence. The lessons are not only fun, but the overall atmosphere is great too. Everyone is very friendly and makes sure you have the best time. I felt at home right away. Would highly recommend and definitely come back!
Great Experience. They are very friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed a lot and they are very good teacher also they taught us very well
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.
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 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.
Very good lessons and good feedback from the instructors!
I had a lesson in January. It was the worst surf lesson ever. I recommend the surf school next door instead of this one.
Excellent lessons and instructors. Huge thanks to Hassa for teaching me skills and improving my practice.
Amazing experience If you've never done surfing I think it's the perfect place Super friendly staff I would certainly repeat
