Our Story

WAKA SURF

At Waka Surf, we believe that surfing is more than just a sport, it’s a way to connect with the ocean, discover yourself, and embrace the thrill of adventure. Nestled in the heart of Dickwella Beach, we are proud to be the first surf school in this charming coastal village, founded over a decade ago by local surf legend, ‘Waka.’

From the moment we opened our doors, our mission has been clear to make surfing accessible, safe, and fun for everyone, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced wave rider. Waka Surf is more than a surf school, it’s a community of locals, travelers, and ocean lovers coming together to share unforgettable moments in one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful surf spots.

Company Overview

His dream was to share the joy of surfing with his hometown, creating a surf school that felt like a family. Over the years, Waka Surf has become a beloved part of the community, known for its friendly vibe, expert instruction, and commitment to helping people from all walks of life discover the thrill of riding waves on the beautiful shores of Dickwella Beach.

Our Team

Meet the
Waka Surf Family

Our team is made up of passionate, highly skilled local surfers who bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep love for the ocean to every lesson. Each instructor has years of surfing experience, and most of them grew up surfing these very waves. When they are not teaching, you’ll find them catching waves themselves – because here at Waka Surf, the ocean is more than just a workplace, it’s our home.

We pride ourselves on creating a friendly, supportive environment for all our students. From first-timers to advanced surfers, our team is here to guide you through every step of your surf journey with patience, enthusiasm, and the insider knowledge that only a local can provide.
