Great surfing experience in Weligama - Great surf school – from the very first steps to improving your technique. Hasa is an amazing instructor who spreads enthusiasm and teaches really well. Unfortunately, a back injury kept me from taking more lessons, but it’s a good reason to come back.

Brilliant - fun - friendly - Brilliant 4 days surfing with Ride a Wave - the instructors were super friendly, calm and fun! There was no hard sell from them, just a very polite and happy atmosphere. My boys are aged 10,11 and 13 - they went from large foam boards to hard boards in just a matter of days! We forgot our shoes and hat on the beach on the last day and they even drove to our villa to drop the stuff off - what customer service!

It was an amazing surfing experience!! - I had Hasa coach me and it was a great lesson! I've surfed in Japan twice, and I really enjoyed riding the waves in Weligama. It was so much fun that I booked the next day on the spot. Hasa was very kind and told me when to ride the optimal wave. I would love to surf again when I come to Weligama. I visited in the middle of July, which is said to be the low season, and as a beginner I had no problem at all.
