SURF GUIDING
THE SURF (INCLUDED)We included two options
SURF GUIDING – Intermediate / Advanced
Daily board & lycra
Daily surf transport*
Daily surf guiding*
Dawn till Dusk sessions*
The Surf Camp Sri Lanka offers a Intermediate & Advanced surf guiding twice a day (2/3 hr 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.
We organise on demand at any time of day a 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 hr 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 the first best spot he/she recommends.
We will consider: tides – wind – wave size – currents – crowds and localism into the guiding and as part of our choices where we go.
The sessions are 2/3 hrs per session and are scheduled 2 x a day – if we schedule a longer more far-away session then this will be turned into one long session where we spend longer time on one spot.
This can happen due to lack of waves and we 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 changes by the day!
We 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 analyse 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 then the surf guide wants to offer you for that moment voluntary. To book a 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 SCHOOL & LESSONS
THE SURF (INCLUDED)
We included two options
SURF GUIDING – Intermediate / Advanced
- Daily board & lycra
- Daily surf transport*
- Daily surf guiding*
- Dawn till Dusk sessions*
All the Surf Camp Sri Lanka surf instructors are ISA Licensed and have Life Saving certificates. Our surf lessons are L1 and L2 – absolute beginner to advanced beginner / starting to catch green waves, position, read waves and currents etc.
We maintain 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 in 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 hrs 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 the 2 hrs surf lessons there will be a additional surf session of approximately 2/3 hrs. This is free surfing and the opportunity to practice what you have learned. The total surfing hours are 4 to 5 hrs per day.
We 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 we may visit one spot more often then other surf spots.
Our focus is to teach you how to surf responsibly for yourself and others that 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 line up and beach back without any guidance, can analyse 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.
If you fit all these requirements then hardboards are available for use!
