Waves

The reason to run their surf camp in South Sri Lanka is because of the consistency of the surf as well as its favorable weather and winds. It rarely gets big and it rarely gets flat. There is always soft, friendly white water on the inside for building confidence on specific board skills and typically smooth, unbroken waves each morning, perfect for more experienced guests and level 2-3 surfers wishing to challenge themselves.

Surfing lesson

Simply put, Surf & Yoga Mirissa sticks to an upper limit of 1:4 instructors to students ratio. Also, it’s important to note that Surf & Yoga Mirissa does not mix ability levels, therefore you will feel more comfortable with your instructions.

Teaching ratio

Maximum group size for surfing, 5 students to 1 instructor
Maximum group size for mat yoga, 12 students to 1 instructor
Maximum group size for Arial yoga, 3 students to 1 instructor
