6 Week Sri Lanka Surf Instructor Course
Epic waves on both the East and West Coast

Thinking about completing your surf instructor course and want to combine it with some good times, good adventures and heaps of tropical vibes?

Well this 6 week surf trip in Sri Lanka with the crew of Ticket To Ride combines both the East AND West coast of one of Asias best surfing destinations – as well as including your ISA Level 1 surf instructor course too.

So you’ll score some incredible waves on both coasts, and gain a world recognised certification.

In order to jump straight into the Surf Instructor course, you need the essential surf skills and fitness levels to gain the qualification.

You must be able to paddle out back and duck dive when needed, pop-up consistently on green waves and perform basic maneuvers, turning both left and right.

Beginning in the bustling town of Ahanghama in the South West of the country (after being picked up from Colombo Airport) you’ll experience some of the coasts best waves from your base in this bustling fishing village – from fun beach breaks through to punchy reefs and rolling points.

When you’re not busy in amongst the waves explore some of the amazing local markets or tuck into some of the incredible local cuisine that Sri Lanka is fast becoming famous for.

After 3 weeks of West Coast fun you’ll head across the country to Arugam Bay – the most famous surf spot in Sri Lanka and home to some world class right hand points where you can really put your new surf skills to the test.

Soak up the views on the scenic drive through the beautiful Sri Lankan countryside en route – and keep an eye out for the local elephants chilling as you drive by!

Before you head back to Ahangama to complete your surf instructor course you’ll head inland to discover more of the beauty of Sri Lanka. This week long Hill Country tour is the perfect opportunity to relax and rest up after 4 weeks of waves.

You’ll stop off at the likes of Ella and Kandy, visiting tea plantations, local markets, temples and even completing the sunrise hike at Adams Peak. A taste of true Sri Lankan adventure.

Then you’ll head back to Ahangama for the instructor training part of the course – where you’ll spend 5 days completing your ISA Level 1 surf instructor course as well as the ILS water safety course, both of which you’ll need to coach all over the world.

With your new certification under your belt you’ll then have a. day to relax and enjoy the waves before heading off on the next adventure.

6 weeks of epic Sri Lankan vibes and of course that ticket to turn the beach into your office!
