Surfing at its best - What a pleasant team!
My wife started talking to them while we were still in the UK ( via whatsapp) and they have been nothing but a delight. They kindly arranged transport from our hotel, ensure we got back safely and the lessons - they were very comprehensive.
They taught her how to handle her self on dry land 1st and then when she got in the water it was a 1 to 1. She absolutely loved the team and the experience!

Nice Surfing Lesson - We had a really nice surf lesson. Even the waves were difficult for us beginners, our teachers manage that we could learn a lot. All Team-Members were very friendly (especially dog Mogli) and helpful. Booking a lesson was very uncomplicated.

Amazing ! - Had an amazing surfing first lesson with Rana. My goal was to ride at least 1 wave, but was able to get probably more than 15! Was really fun and had a lot of laughs.
The whole crew there were really welcoming and easy to talk to. Definitely will go back next time I’m around!

Unforgettable experience!!! - It was an awesome Hikkaduwa surfing week! Great place, great waves and amazing instructors !!!
Mia and Jonty are true professionals in their field - qualitatively explained the basic principles and conducted classes with a gradual complication. So in the end I could already catch the waves myself)
I have never regretted that I had to get up at 6:30 to get to the very beginning.
Jonty - thank you very much for your studies!
Thank you!!!

Patient and polite instructors - My girlfriend and I were warmly welcomed by our instructors. They let us use surfboards that were in magnificent condition and they guided us all the way. They were very polite and helped us learn more with each wave. The only thing they didn't particularly focus on was teaching us how to surf without an instructor. Ie: how to paddle out and overcome swells and paddle to catch waves by ourselves. They were however extremely generous and let us both come back later in the afternoon for 1 hour free use of the boards.
