100% recommended!

I stayed at Surf & Stay for a total of 10 days and took a class almost every day. At the beginning, I was quite scared of surfing, but thanks to the instructor called Danny, I quickly started to enjoy it and became motivated to improve. Danny is an amazing instructor who gives clear, practical tips and really encourages you to push yourself. I took 5 beginner lessons and 5 intermediate lessons, and I especially learned a lot during the intermediate sessions. They really helped me progress and build confidence. My stay at the hostel was also fantastic. You meet solo travelers right away, and it truly has a warm, cozy, family-like atmosphere. I originally planned to stay for 3 nights, but ended up extending my stay by another 7 nights because I was having such a great time. Luckily, the team was very flexible with bookings. I would also highly recommend taking the breakfast option. Overall, both the hostel experience and the surfing lessons were the highlight of my trip — 100% recommended!

the opportunity to observe and collaborate with this surf school

As a fellow operator in the tourism and surf industry, I’ve had the opportunity to observe and collaborate with this surf school, and I can confidently say they run a highly professional and well-structured operation. Their approach to customer experience is particularly strong. From first contact to post-session follow-up, they maintain clear communication, reliable scheduling, and a welcoming attitude that reflects well on the wider local surf community. It’s evident that they prioritize both safety and progression, with instructors who are not only technically skilled but also patient and attentive to different skill levels. From a business perspective, their consistency is what stands out most. They deliver a dependable product, manage logistics efficiently, and uphold a standard that aligns well with international expectations—something that’s critical for Sri Lanka’s growing surf tourism market. They’ve also shown a collaborative mindset, which is increasingly important in this industry. Whether it’s coordinating bookings, sharing insights, or supporting joint experiences, they operate with a level of professionalism that makes partnerships smooth and productive. Overall, this is a surf school that understands both the experiential and operational sides of the business. I would have no hesitation recommending them to partners, agents, or clients looking for a trustworthy surf provider.

Amazing Experience !!!

I had a solo surf session with Danny and it was an amazing experience. He’s a great instructor, very patient, encouraging, and attentive. Even in a short session, I felt more confident in the water and really enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed and supportive surf experience!
