    Приехали отдыхать в отель Marriott что на пляже Велигама, давно хотелось научиться стоять на доске и вот я познакомился с рускоязычным преподавателем по серфингу, зовут Павел, (местные называют его Paul) договорились на время и мы пришли с дочей, занимались каждый день, сказать что мы оба в восторге, это ни чего не сказать, впечатлений океан)) с ребенком занималась его супруга Ксения, главный и самый жирный плюс в том, что все максимально понятно, так как общение проходит на родном нам языке, все тонкости и нюансы проговариваются, а общаться на пальцах при обучении я не люблю. В итоге я получил незабываемые впечатления и огромный опыт, доча даже в последний день отдыха взяла вторую тренировку, и перестала совсем боятся волн и воды. Тренировки можно брать, как часовые так и полуторо часовые, кому как удобно. Оплату принимают в долларах и рупиях. В общем подведу короткий итог: команда отличная и хорошо подготовленая, полный контроль за учеником, желаю всей команде дальнейшего развития и не терять опытных и профессиональных специалистов, всем удачи🤙🏻

    Maybe this place was good a few years ago, the people there are rly unfriendly and try to charge for damage which was already there. Especially Kumar (Kamur) is a terrible person.

    My favorite place on the Weligama beach. There are many surfschools but Shan, Lahiru and the boys are not only great instructors, they are also very chilled and friendly! 100% recommend them. Cheers for all the good times.

    Best surf center in Weligama!!!!! Looking for a chilled place with the best instructor! Go here!! These guys have all the patience you need to veel save and secure on the bord. In no time you can go out independently, and instead of your instructor he becomes your friend! Highly recommended!!

    I have had surf lessons with Shan and his crew several times and it was always great! They are located directly at Weligama beach and are always very friendly and helpful. Just send them a message and they will certainly help you out the best they can. Highly recommended!

    I recently had the pleasure of taking a surf lesson at Weligama Surf Center, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the friendly and knowledgeable instructors to the beautiful beach location, it was a fantastic day of surfing. The lessons were well-structured, and I felt safe and supported throughout. I managed to catch some great waves and improve my skills in just one session. If you're looking for a fun and professional surf school, I highly recommend Weligama Surf Center for an unforgettable time in the water.

    Better to go with a different surf school in Weligama. Never had a surf lesson where you share the instructor with another random student uninformed when you paid the price for one instructor for them to teach only yourself. When I complained about the situation during the lesson, they came up with an excuse that they had a misunderstanding in organising with the other students. They still asked for the same price we agreed upon pre-lesson. Often I was left alone in the water waiting for my instructor when they are teaching someone else. Also during the lesson, as they had a messy organisation three different instructors came to me taking turns, so they are unable to consistently teach you based on your level.

    (Translated by Google) They were thieves they asked me to pay $50 to repair a board that was already damaged I strongly advise against if they can take your money they will there are better surf schools a little further away and the gass are really nicer I strongly advise against it (Original) Se sont des voleurs il m’ont demandé de payer 50$ pour réparer une planche qui était déjà abîmé je déconseille fortement s’il peuvent prendre votre argent ils le feront il y’a des meilleurs surf school un peu plus loing et les gas sont vraiment plus sympa je le déconseille fortement

    (Translated by Google) Had a really nice experience with Shan! Besides that we were able to practice surfing well, we also had a good laugh! (Original) Een hele leuke ervaring gehad bij Shan! Naast dat we goed hebben kunnen oefenen met surfen hebben we ook kunnen lachen!

    We’ve got great surfing lessons from Lahiru here! He’s a very great surfer and a good teacher too! We were beginner soft top surfers and he taught us how to surf on hard tops! He’s a very friendly and kind person, patient and eager for you to succeed! So if he gets all excited and starts shouting that you have to paddle harder, that’s a good thing 😜 Thanks a lot machan! Take care and stay happy 😊

    I had an amazing time at Weligama Surf Center the waves were fantastic, I’ll definitely be returning. I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff at Surf Point. The instructors’ training techniques were effective, creating a supportive environment for surfers at every level.
