Absolutely! Partners or family members who don’t surf or practice yoga are welcome. They can enjoy massages, city tours, safaris, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy delicious food. Contact us for more information and pricing.

Surfing is a fantastic family holiday activity, and having kids join your surf lessons is always a lot of fun. We do have an age limit for surfing guests though – they must be at least 6 years old and accompanied by one participating adult. Children requiring their own room are charged at the adult rate.

We strongly recommend that all guests have adequate medical and travel insurance covering adventure activities such as surfing.

If your flight arrives very early in the morning, please contact us in advance. We’ll do our best to arrange an early check-in or provide a comfortable space to rest until official check-in.

We will happily arrange a private driver to meet you at the airport if necessary.
The guests can reach the camp via public or private transport.
An AC private car costs EUR 70 including expressway passes (up to two passengers). The time taken is 2.5 to 3 hrs.
Public transportation: Take the bus from the airport to Pettah main bus terminal, and take bus number 2 to Matara (normal way) or express bus to Matara (depending on availability). From there, you can take a tuk tuk to our camp in Mirissa.

We chose South Sri Lanka for our surf camp because of its consistent waves, favorable weather, and ideal wind conditions. The surf rarely gets too big and rarely goes flat. There’s always soft, friendly white water close to shore, perfect for building confidence and practicing specific board skills. In the mornings, you’ll typically find smooth, unbroken waves – ideal for more experienced guests and Level 2-3 surfers looking to challenge themselves.

We maintain a maximum instructor-to-student ratio of 1:5. Importantly, we do not mix ability levels, so you’ll always feel comfortable with your group and receive guidance tailored to your skills.
Our in-house photographer captures your surf sessions from the shore. Professional photos are available for purchase. Videos used for surf analysis will be shared with you free of charge, and all footage is deleted after one week.
Sri Lanka is warm year-round, so all you need is a rash guard and a pair of board shorts or a bikini. We provide a rash guard if you don’t have one. Don’t forget sunscreen – high-quality options, especially SPF 50+, can be hard to find locally.

For Level 1 surfers, we typically start with soft-top boards during the first few days. Once you progress to advanced beginner level, your instructor may transition you to a hard-top board.
For Level 2 and above, we offer a range of hard-top boards to suit your ability and the current wave conditions.
