Surf guiding (intermediate, advanced levels)
Included:
- Daily board & lycra
- Daily surf transport
- Daily surf guiding
- Dawn till dusk sessions
The Surf Camp Sri Lanka offers Intermediate & Advanced surf guiding twice a day (2 / 3 hour sessions) in a group-based set-up of max 4-5 surfers per guide.
Every surf guide has its own surf group for that day which is assembled based on the level of the surfers.
The camp organizes on demand at any time of day intermediate / advanced surf guiding. This means together with your surf guide you can check what surf spots you would like to surf that day within a distance of 1 hour drive maximum.
The surf guide will see to it that you can spot a few spots before going in and recommend a spot based on his local knowledge to ensure you will get the best surf that day. You can consult with your surf guide and group of fellow surfers to go for surf spotting first or go directly to the first best spot he / she recommends.
The guide will consider the tides – wind – wave size – currents – crowds and localism into the guiding and as part of the choices where you go.
The sessions are 2/3 hours per session and are scheduled twice a day – if the camp schedules a longer more far-away session, then this will be turned into one long session where you spend longer time on one spot.
This can happen due to the lack of waves and you have to go north or south to find spots that are working better with smaller waves. Sometimes it even happens that only 1 or 2 surf spots are working in the entire area. Wave size and conditions change by the day!
The camp will try to find the best compromises that will benefit the intermediate/advanced surfer as much as possible.
Independent surfers know how to protect themselves but also others when a wipe-out happens, can handle unexpected currents, can paddle to the line-up and beach back without any guidance, can analyze currents in the water, know where the entry and exit points are, are able to turtle roll and to duck dive, can pass the surf safely without board loss, know how to kick out of a wave, know how to go left and right and do not need to be pushed into a wave by a instructor.
NOTE: Surf guiding is NOT a surf lesson – it is guided surf!! There will be no tuition – no constructive feedback or coaching other than the surf guide wants to offer you for that moment voluntarily. To book intermediate / advanced surf you need to be a Level 3 surfer and meet the requirements above. If the surf coach does not deem you to be a L3 intermediate / advanced surfer and you are not able to surf safely for yourself and in particular others the surf coach has the right to cancel the session and schedule you up for the beginners classes we have.
Surf lessons for beginners
Included:
- Beginner lessons
- Daily board rental & lycra
- Daily surf transport
- Daily surf lessons ± 2 hours
- Daily free surfing ± 2/3 hours
All the Surf Camp Sri Lanka surf instructors are ISA Licensed and have Life Saving certificates. The surf lessons are L1 and L2 – absolute beginner to advanced beginner / starting to catch green waves, position, read waves and currents, etc.
The camp maintains a student-teacher ratio of 1:4/5 depending on the group set up for that day.
The group will be taught all at the same beach but are split up into smaller groups per teacher. Each teacher will look after their own students with a max of 1: 4/5 ratio.
The daily surf lessons are 2 hours of guided lessons that includes theory & practice and once a week a full theory and video analysis with a surf movie.
All surf lessons are carried out on soft surfboards to ensure the safety of the student and surrounding surfers. After the 2 hours of surf lesson, there will be an additional surf session of approximately 2/3 hours. This is free surfing and the opportunity to practice what you have learned. The total surfing hours are 4 to 5 hours per day.
Surf lessons start always in the morning and are the first session of the day – the 2nd session is always free surfing.
The camp will pick the surf spot based on what is the best location to carry out the surf lessons considering the crowds – the type of ocean bottom: Sand (not reef) and currents. Therefore, you may visit one spot more often than other surf spots.
The focus is to teach you how to surf responsibly for yourself and others who are with you in the water to make sure you will have the maximum amount of fun!
Hardboards are for those who can surf independently, intermediate/advanced, and have already some experience.
Independent surfers know how to protect themselves but also others when a wipe out happens, can handle unexpected currents, can paddle to the lineup and beach back without any guidance, can analyze currents in the water, know where the entry and exit points are, are able to turtle roll and to duck dive, can pass the surf safely without board loss, know how to kick out of a wave, know how to go left and right and do not need to be pushed into a wave by an instructor.
If you fit all these requirements then hardboards are available for use!
NOTE:
- Bring sun protection / sunblock Factor: 50+
- Yoga pants if you are sensitive to skin rash or sunburn on the legs, in particular, are recommended for female surfers due to the high bikini cuts on the leg
- Late check-ins have no surf session. Early check-ins can request surf lesson prior to arrival and have to be checked in before 08.00 in the morning and subject to our courtesy and availability. Do NOTE that room check in is officially at 14.00 and that is also when your holiday package starts.
