Private Surf Coaching

Designed for intermediate to advanced surfers who want to deep-dive into taking their surfing up a level. Jacob will work with you one-to-one and design a program specifically for you. If you are a family or a group of friends, we can provide private surf coaching for groups up to eight participants.

Whether you’re looking for one or multiple sessions we can work flexibly around your trip.

Surfing Levels

The main pillars we stand for is adventure and progression while exploring the more un-surfed waves on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Our plan is to create a unique coaching experience with exploration at the heart of what we do.

It’s much easier to improve your skills by keeping up your wave count - knowing your current level is key so that we can find the best waves for you to help you progress.
