Thank you for all the time I could spend with you. There are few places in the world where I felt as comfortable as if we had known each other forever. Your friendly attitude and family atmosphere create a unique place and space. The amazing surf lessons are just a given with all this. In one week of surfing with the guys I have increased my level and I am looking forward to further progress, hopefully in the same school 🙂

First time to Sri Lanka and first time surfer. Bigs thanks to Waka Surf for their patience and supportive teaching… I managed to stand up which I am very proud of! Had a fantastic time, with lots of laughter from a very friendly team. Once again huge thanks to all.

Natasha

From England

I had tried surfing at a class before and thought it was way too difficult and way too scary for me. Luckily I gave it another chance with Waka and his crew! They were teaching in such a supportive manner that I started to feel like maybe I could learn the sport. Little by little I learned and progressed and finally fell in love with surfing, or at least learning it because I am still very much a beginner I have since tried other surf schools around the world and still think Waka’s had the best vibe! All smiles and waves

From Finland

Before coming to WAKA surf I’ve never tried surfing before but thanks to the team at WAKA surf I had such a successful progress and went from beginner to intermediate after only 5 lessons.

The boys at WAKA surf are so helpful, sweet and fun to be around, the vibe at the surf school is so lovely and it truly feels like you’re a part of the surf family there. Everyone is so competent and it’s really motivating to feel how much love and passion they all have for surfing.

I will forever recommend WAKA surf and I’ll keep coming back.

Waka, the boys, Serena, and Yomi are the most wonderful people. They made me and my little boy feel so welcome and loved. I could not have found better people to share my time on Dikwella Beach with.
Thank you all for your kindness and positive energy

I have loved learning to surf with the WAKA team! I’ve tried a few different surf schools around the world, but I’ve seen the most progress with my surfing since learning from the team at WAKA Surf.

The coaches are incredible—extremely patient and always providing helpful tips. You can tell they love what they do and are dedicated surf coaches.

On top of that, the vibe at WAKA is always friendly and welcoming! I’ve recommended WAKA Surf to many friends and will continue to do so.
