Looking for a Sri Lanka surf camp that packs in heaps of incredible coaching, surf breaks, and adventure?
Well, this 10 week surf academy and adventure ticks all the boxes for the perfect way to enjoy all the beauty and waves that surfing in Sri Lanka has to offer.
After rendezvousing with your new surf buddies in Ahangama you’ll start things off by heading over to the East Coast and the world-famous Arugam Bay, embarking on your surfing journey riding the reeling, sand-bottom point breaks, learning the fundamentals, and enjoying some of the longest waves of your life.
You’ll be under the wings of a team of qualified and seriously experienced surf instructors led by ex-world tour surfer Nikita Robb as your head coach, so you’re in good hands!
It’s not all about the surf though, you’ll also enjoy yoga sessions, a National Park Tour, and an elephant lagoon tour before heading to the West Coast.
Next up is Ahangama, where you’ll be staying at the Ahangama Surf House. Just a stone’s throw from the ocean, surrounded by palm trees you’ll have an array of epic surf spots right on your doorstep.
Welcome to your base for the rest of the academy!
With daily surf coaching, video analysis, theory classes, and guided surfs, you’ll quickly progress and be able to take advantage of the wide array of surf spots dotted along the Sri Lankan coastline. All are complemented by surf-specific yoga sessions.
After four and a half weeks of surf coaching and ocean time, it’s time to mix things up taking a bit of a break, as you head off on a week-long tour of the Hill Country Tour.
Tea plantations, temples, local markets, the world-famous Ella to Kandy train journey, and climbing the famous Adam’s Peak to watch the sunrise from 5000ft – it’s the perfect rest bite and culture hit before getting back into the surf training.
Once you’re back at the Surf House you’ll get back to the waves for your final 2 weeks of island vibes and surfing.
It’s 10 weeks of sun, surf and good times!
