Kima Surf (Weligama, Sri Lanka)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

Surf twice a day, every day of the week! Your package includes surf guiding in the price at Kima Sri Lanka surf camp Weligama.

We co-ordinate surf trips daily, seven days a week, for all levels, to various breaks around southern Sri Lanka.

You can join with two guided sessions every day. Smaller groups are divided into their skill levels and go to surf spots taking current tide, swell and wind conditions into account. For beginners we recommend booking our 3-days Learn-to-Surf Sri Lanka package.

BOARD RENTAL : Do not worry about bringing a board or multiple boards, we have them covered. We supply shortboards – 6’2“ – 6’6“, funshapes and mini-malibus -6’8“ – 8’0“. We also have a range of soft top boards, available for every level and all conditions. Included in the rental price are Leashes and Lycra. Please note that repairs or equipment that is lost will need to be paid for.

INSURE YOUR SURF BOARD : Surf with confidence and insure your rental board. Board insurance will cover the costs for repairs as required over a period of one to three weeks, whether it’s a small ding, (dent) or a snapped board. All damage is professionally repaired. Note: If parts of the board get lost – even within the water – the repair costs will be paid by the user.

Our surf camp in Sri Lanka is located in the perfect position for beginner surfers. Right outside our camp doors are waves that are ideal for riding your first green wave and learning the basic surf skills.

For total beginners we recommend joining our 3-day surf school package with a beginners’ surf course in Sri Lanka.

For intermediate surfers, Sri Lanka has a whole series of various beach breaks and reef breaks.

There are many perfect waves nearby that will push your skills and hopefully make you an advanced surfer by the end of your stay.

Of course, advanced surfers also get great value during a Sri Lanka surf trip. We’ll talk to you about all the tides, weather and options that are possible.

Our restaurants in the Weligama surf camp and beachside offer a variety of Sri Lankan dishes.

International food : In Weligama there are several good restaurants with high-quality food that cater to western tastes.
