Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an exotic paradise, boasting breath-taking beauty, raw wildlife, colourful cuisine and fascinating culture. It is also home to some of the friendliest people you will ever meet as well as our flagship Surf House! 

If you're looking to surf a variety of user-friendly reef & beach breaks wrapped by tropical jungle all day fueled by incredible curries, then Sri Lanka is the one.

Trip Stops & Accommodation

Ahangama on the SW Coast is the first destination on our Sri Lanka Adventures and the location of our Surf House. Ahangama is a true local town bursting with energy, delicious food, colourful markets and an emerging surfing scene. It also home to great waves; possibly the best waves in South West Sri Lanka. 

Riders on our Tours will criss-cross some of the most beautiful parts of the country through wild jungle, deserted dirt roads and rich wildlife to Arugam Bay on the East Coast. This small fishing village is home to one of the longest and most perfect right hand point breaks in the World.

If you're on the 4 week Adventure / 10 week course, you will spend the final week traveling through the idyllic Hill Country from Arugam Bay to Ella, Kandy and Adams Peak, visiting tea plantations, monasteries, temples and climbing the famous 5,000ft Sri Pada pilgrimage.

All accommodation is comfortable and clean with a maximum of three people per room, with limited private room upgrades available.

Waves

Sri Lanka has been on the map of traveling surfers since the 70’s but it’s still relatively quiet. Whilst most surfers head for Indonesia, Sri Lanka is receiving the same swells, but due to the deep water over the reefs, it is a great place for beginner – intermediate surfers to get an introduction to surfing reef breaks. 

The waves around Ahangama range from 3 mile stretches of playful beach breaks and long left hander point breaks, to short, fast barreling rights. The right hand point breaks around Arugam Bay are World class... 

Whether you're a total beginner or a complete ripper, you'll receive tailored surf coaching and be shown waves that suit your ability.
