Whether you are a beginner or seeking to develop your skills, you can have bags of enjoyment in a relaxed and convivial setting.

There has been an increase in simple surf schools lying among the palm trees of Weligama Bay and Red Dot will ensure you don’t have to rely on guesswork to get the best attention.

Weligama Bay is one of Sri Lanka’s finest, so enchanting that you will imagine you can become a champion surfer in no time.

Start with a board walk-through and learn about basic safety procedures while still safely on sand. Once you are ready, you will go with your dedicated instructor into the waves and discover whether you have what it takes to ride the waves.

While you look for the perfect wave, developing your knowledge with the help of your instructor, don’t forget to notice your beautiful surroundings on the east side of the bay as fishermen ready their nets for the day’s catch and brightly-coloured boats glimmer in the sun.

Once the lesson is over, rest your board on the sand, adopt that champion surfer pose and enjoy a languid drink under the shelter of a traditional beach hut.
