The Surfer Surf Camps Sri Lanka

It’s amazing Surf Camp with high professional surf instructors from different countries, speaking great level of English (English native speakers too:)). The trainings are fun, instructors always guide you through the technique and current state of the ocean (which constantly change), share the theory of waves, surfing and giving personal approach to every student. The life in camp besides the surf sessions is fun: in the evening there are different activities, which collaborate people from different countries into one cool company. The food is always fresh and good, not only local ( I’m not the fan of local food, so camp had the offer of variety of dishes for any taste). The location is perfect, it’s just few steps from the beach. You can take tuk tuk for really low amount of money, they are always on duty near the Surfer camp, and go to another little restaurant around or another beach/ place.

Really nice place. Very comfortable and good vibe. So easy to meet people but also have good surf and yoga lessons! Just high quality equipment. For sure more expensive than a hostel but way cheaper than all surf camps around with higher standards. I will come back for sure. Thanks to everyone for a perfect stay!

I had an awesome time at the surfers! The atmosphere is great and there are a lot of fun activities one can take part in. I also went to their boat party which was so much fun! The rooms and all facilities are very clean, mattresses are comfy - nothing to complain about. Food and drinks served in their restaurant are also really good. Now the most important thing: The Surf lessons are really fun and the instructors help a lot. Even though I had never surfed before I had an amazing time trying to catch some waves and here and there even caught a few :) Thank you for the amazing time!

I had an unplanned trip to Weligama and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for myself. Giving me a great opportunity to rest and learn how to surf. The surfer is located right on the beach, the environment is calm and beautiful and the beach is not over crowded. Nice quiet paradise. The staff are all incredibly helpful and friendly - they all felt like family by the time I left. The instructors are incredibly helpful and made every lesson so much fun, I was able to overcome my own fears with the water and face them with confidence with their guidance and support and cheering me on. For anyone wanting to learn to surf this is the place - perfect conditions, beautiful surroundings and supportive staff every step of the way. For the more experienced surfer they take you to beautiful spots to surf bigger waves - one of my goals is to join that group the next time I visit! This place is paradise - I cant recommend it more! GO you wont regret it.

The team running the surf camp are so hard working and professional, always making sure everything is in order and to your satisfaction. I had a very comfortable stay and two surf lessons a day with qualified instructors who made me feel safe and confident. The food at the surf camp is top notch with a choice of western dishes and more local Sri Lankan options available too - all of which are super tasty and reasonably priced. 100% recommend this place to learn to surf, meet a fun bunch of people and enjoy the sea and sand!! I will be back!

That place is just awesome! I was there for two weeks in february and came back for few more days two months later. If you are beginner in surf or you already surf before and you want to improve, this is the place to go! All the surf instructors are super nice and give you good advice. I definitely improve in surfing! Everybody is super chill and relax, the vibe is good. The owner and all the surf camp team are really nice and helpful. Also, I really liked that it’s easy to walk from the camp directly to the ocean for the lessons or chilling at the beach.The pool is also a good place to chill. I have done few yoga classes on the rooftop during the sunset, the teacher was really competent and it felt so great after the surfing :) Plus, the food was very tasty at the camp. Everything was just perfect and I will definitely go back! :D

If you want to learn how to surf, and have good time when you´re not in the water, then The Surfer surf camp is the place to be! Located just 1 minute from the beach, with its own pool and restaurant, this surf camp has everything you need. Weligama is a great place for beginner surfers and because of the competent instructors, you are able to improve in no time. The Surfer has great beginner surfboards available and all instructors have a high level of English. Besides surfing, The Surfer organizes social activities almost every night, like trivia night, bonfires, a night out, or surf theory lessons or surf photo reviews. The rooms (with hot water) are clean and the staff is super friendly. The restaurant on the roof is not only a place where you go for delicious food, but also to meet people from all around the world. This makes it a great spot for solo travelers. The owner Lahiru and his staff have been able to create a very nice atmosphere, call it a community, where you definitely want to be a part of. I spent three weeks in the camp and it felt like home.

I had a blast at The Surfer and my surfing improved enormously with the guidance and patience of all the instructors. In fact the highlight of my whole trip to Sri Lanka was going on the boat to Fisherman’s for my first experience at a reef break. The Surfer is a great place for solo travellers. There were plenty of activities and surfing tuition in the evenings and the pool is the perfect place to hang out and chill in between lessons or yoga sessions. Thank you to everyone for providing such a great experience.

If you want to surf, relax and socialise, this Weligama gem is the perfect place for you! Highly recommended for solo travellers. Great surfing for beginners in shallow, uncrowded waves right in front of the surf camp, with tuition from experienced and talented instructors. The Surfer has a fun, social vibe! It has a rooftop overlooking the pounding ocean (for sunset yoga), a pool and communal tables where we gathered for dinners, beers, surf theory and laughs. What a great mix of people I met! My initial plan was to stay one week at The Surfer, but I had such a good time so I extended my stay. Loved it!

Amazing place! Initially booked for 6 nights but ended up extending. Prime location next to the beach, but what I loved more about the surfer, is the community. Made so many amazing friends + social events every night. Highly recommend!

Great place to learn surfing. Lovely staff and good foods. Felt like a big family, very social place. Nice events such as boat partys and film night. They put in the extra effort to make you feel at ease.
