Best surf school in Weligama - Had the best lessons here. Sami was my instructor for two lessons and he was such a great teacher. Was very patient and able to teach me the right techniques so I was surfing on my own. So happy. Highly recommend coming here. Great price too! Came here twice

An amazing surfing experience! - Me and my sister had a great day at AMA surf school. The instructors were all very helpful and approachable. We turned this into a full day at the beach with AMA giving us a sun bed to use and a surf board was available if we wanted to practice what we’d learnt. I would highly recommend this surf school to everyone as the instructors were so accommodating and even as first timers we were able to stand up on the board with their help. The complete beach day.

Highly recommend! - I had an amazing experience with Ama surf school, particularly with my very patient instructor, Akila. I was concerned that learning to surf for the first time in my 30s might be difficult but I was already riding waves into shore within 30 minutes of my lesson. Would highly recommend for anyone considering giving it a go!

The perfect surf school - We were in Weligama for a week and took 5 surf lessons. After a short time we could already stand on the board and after only 3 lessons we were able to join in with the advanced surfers and switch from the softboard to the hardboard. It was great fun and the one-to-one supervision was really great so that we learnt quickly. Many thanks for the incredibly great experience

Top school in Weligama!!! - My partner and I tried surfing for the first time at Ama's school in Weligama, wow!! A wonderful experience, the guys are all smiling and super expert. Deiya has been taking care of us since we arrived and thanks to him we were able to stand up after a short time and we learned a lot from the first lesson, we liked it so much that the next day we returned and he, despite being very sore, from behind, he continued to teach us many things. Professional, very kind and always attentive to us, to our safety and to encouraging you to improve. A thousand thanks!!!

Outstanding! - These guys truly deserve their title as the greatest in Weligama! I can’t believe how much they’ve taught me in such a short space of time! I thought I’d be lucky if I stood up once during my first lesson, but they had me riding waves from the very beginning ( and it’s such a rush!). I feel especially fortunate to have met my coach Dinu. He’s extremely professional and always paying attention. What’s more, he knows exactly how to push me to achieve my personal best and as soon as I do something wrong, he lets me know what I need to do to fix it and it works! I also feel super safe out there with him as he’s always looking out for me and positioning my board so that I’m not hit by big waves or other surfers. Finally, they’re all such a welcoming and friendly bunch that I’m really going to miss them and this lifestyle when I leave! Cheers for the most amazing few weeks everyone :)
