His helpful tips made the impossible possible!

Thank you so much !

The best surf school I’ve experienced so far - There’s real guidance, personalized advice, and amazing support from the coach. In just three sessions, I was already able to paddle up, all while feeling safe and confident. They place strong emphasis on safety, which really helps you feel comfortable in the water, even when you’re far out. Also, be ready for their sense of humor, they can be pretty sarcastic at times! Don’t be surprised if they make fun of you a little, it’s always good-natured and part of the fun. They’re super friendly and genuinely want you to improve. Highly recommended!

BEST SURFING INSTRUCTOR ✨ - What an amazing experience! Finally I found a great teacher in Sri Lanka that managed to fix my mistakes in order for me to catch waves easily with a better technical understanding. I had so much fun surfing with Shan, and everyone else working here is so nice and sweet. Nice boards selection and right beside the beach. Much visit this beautiful place for learning as a beginner or improving your skills. Great knowledge of surfing.

Very good, would recommend! - Ride a Wave Surf School are my number 1 choice for surfing in Weligama, I started with no confidence & no experience, & after 5 lessons have left wanting to come back & practice more surfing! Shan was great at explaining what we needed to be aware of, how to be safe in the water, what to fix on our positions when we were practicing & letting us practice on the board multiple times until we were confident getting on the water. If you’re a beginner or an intermediate surfer I would suggest you check them out, I really enjoyed my lessons with the team & felt looked after the entire time!

I came here and I did my first lesson and I couldn’t even stand up, but after a few days with the good-hearted and patient teacher Hasa, I could do magic ✨ the whole team is one of the best you can find in Weligama! And Hasa the best teacher of the country
