FAQ’s
Surf camp
-
Absolutely. Most of our guests are beginners or still getting their pop-up sorted, and we love that. We welcome every level though, from your very first wave to seasoned surfers chasing a better turn.
With a range of breaks about 10 minutes from the villa, there’s always a wave that suits where you’re at.
-
Small, on purpose. Every group has two coaches, a mix of qualified Sri Lankan and international coaches who know these waves, so you get real one-on-one attention and you’re never just a face in the line-up.
-
One solid surf a day, coached in the best conditions, usually in the morning. We film your session and sit down together for video analysis afterwards, so you can see exactly what to work on next.
The rest of the day is yours: yoga, the pool, a treatment at Soul Spa, or exploring Ahangama.
-
No. Boards, equipment and transport to the breaks are all included in surf camp. We have hard and soft boards from 6’0 to 9’0 for every level. If you have a board you love, you’re very welcome to bring it.
-
