Level 1 surfing lesson
Level 1 surfing lesson is designed for the complete beginner and for those who have tried surfing a few times but have not been able to catch a wave by themselves. You will learn surfing with the right techniques accompanied by friendly and experienced surfing instructors of The Surfer Weligama. One instructor will guide a maximum of two persons. For first-timers, this shorter beginner's class is recommended, as surfing is a physically demanding sport and can be quite tiring.
Level 2 surfing lesson
Level 2 surfing lesson is designed for the surfers who can catch a wave in the white water but want to continue to progress their surfing and learn safety tips, tricks, how to go to the lineup, and how to catch a green wave properly and turn so they can improve from a beginner surfing level to an intermediate one.
Intermediate surf lessons
An innovative and unique coaching system for intermediate and advanced surf lessons is thought of as one of the best island-wide. Booking with the Sri Lankan Tour Hub is a process where they get to know who you are, where you are in your surfing, and what you want from the course. That attention to your needs and the ability to really expand your surfing is what makes them so special. They have coached right up to top international competitors and have over 10 years of surf coaching experience at the intermediate and advanced levels of surfing.
Developing your surfing technique
Board selection and design service is unlike any other surf camp or school. Imagine having just the right board being chosen by your own coach. A board that will really help you have more fun and advance in your surfing. If you are just moving onto unbroken waves and your first good turns, or if you are more advanced and you are already trying to perfect maneuvers, then their coaching will be perfect for you.
They explain techniques clearly and always give you the correct and positive feedback that is needed. They know they can make a huge difference to your surfing and women’s intermediate and advanced surfing is progressing all the time and their coaching and coaches reflect that too.
What you will learn
You will cover at this level:
- Perfecting take-off or pop-up
- Acceleration techniques
- Core balance in maneuvers
- Top-to-bottom turns
- Paddle out techniques duck dive
- Paddling technique
- Cutbacks, off the lips, and floaters
- Wave formation

Yoga
On this holiday, you will learn to find your way back through yoga and meditation. What do you want to achieve, what do you want for this year, and what do you want for your life? For this, you deliberately go into silence.
