The right school in the right place - Fantastic experience, cool vibe, good instructors. Despite the huge crowds in the water due to perfect spot for beginners, not once felt unsafe and the instructors guide you to the right place and let you take the right waves for maximum experience/experience. Just took 5 days of lessons as a beginner and really made a lot of progress thanks to this perfect combination of location and right school. Highly recommended.

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
