What will the trip look like?
Day 1 – Welcome to Weligama Bay
We will check in at our surf camp, Solid Surf House, at 3pm. It’s a free-and-easy day, where you can spend the rest of the day exploring Weligama, the camp is conveniently situated near two stunning surfing beaches: Jungle Beach and Turtle Beach which offer great opportunities for enjoying the natural beauty of the area. We will arrange a group dinner so that you can get to know each other better before the surfing starts!
Day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 – Take your surf skills to the next level
This is where the real fun begins. Every day there will be two surf guiding sessions by Solid Surf House where we will split up into smaller groups based on our skill levels. Once you are comfortable riding the smaller waves (broken whitewashes), it's time to practice your paddling and turtle roll skills as you head out to the surf lineup for a shot at conquering the big boys.
The general progression for surfers is as follows (depending on your speed of learning):
1) Big foam surfboard in the beginner area
2) Big hard-top surfboard in the beginner area
3) Big hard-top surfboard in the intermediate area
4) Smaller hard-top surfboard in the intermediate area
Aside from surfing, there will also be surf skate sessions and daily morning yoga. For those of you who love to party, the camp bar will be open from 8pm till late. If you just want to chill out and relax after a long surf day, you can sit back and enjoy some late-night movie screenings.
We also encourage our participants to self-organise other activities such as beach volleyball or sightseeing on these days!
Day 8 – Farewell
On our last day, we will head out for one last surf in the morning before we check out of the camp with our newfound surfing skills and a lifetime of unforgettable memories!

Do I need to have prior surfing experience?
Nope! You will start from the basics and learn alongside other beginners!
Do I need to know how to swim
Yes! Although the beginner waves are usually near the shore, the goal of this camp is to improve and eventually hit the green waves. This requires you to battle the waves and paddle out into the open sea, hence you should be able to swim if you want to attend this surf camp.
