Learning to Surf in Sri Lanka

Wave check 🌊✨ Everything you need to know about learning how to surf in Sri Lanka 👇 Sri Lanka truly is a wonderful place to learn how to surf. WHERE TO STAY Highly recommend spending a week @surfnyogaretreats where you will have the same (very friendly) instructor every day, surf theory every night, and plenty of opportunities to ask all of your questions! WHAT BEACHES ARE THE BEST FOR BEGINNERS? Weligama is a great beach to learn how to surf, that’s where we went daily. However, I’m quickly learning that Hiriketiya is another beautiful spot and suitable for beginners, just be sure to check the waves and ask the person you’ll be renting boards from to double check it’s a good/ safe day to go out! Another spot I was recommended by my instructor but didn’t get the chance to try out is Marshmallow surf spot in Ahangama. CAN YOU LEARN IN JUST ONE LESSON? I’m sure you could learn a decent amount, but after spending a week at a surf camp I can definitely say if you’re serious about learning/ improving your skills, this is the way to go. Like anything, practice makes progress🏄🏼‍♀️🤍 I’m curious - have you ever thought about surfing in Sri Lanka? ____
