Viji is a very chill and nice coach!! I’m an intermediate longboarder. I did 2 sessions with him, he is very patient and listen to my needs to find the best wave for longboard:) would recommend

We (me and my 7 y/o daughter) couldn’t have asked for a better surf coach. In just a few days, he helped us progress more than we thought possible (from riding white waves to confidently surfing green waves and even heading out to the reef)! He constantly encouraged us to step outside of our comfort zone, but always with kindness, patience, and genuine care. He knew exactly when to push us and when to reassure us, which made all the difference in building our confidence in the water. His explanations were clear, his feedback was precise, and his positive energy made every session both fun and challenging. We felt supported the entire time. If anyone is looking for a surf instructor around Ahangama or Weligama, he is absolutely the one to go to. We can’t recommend him highly enough! 🌊

We had a great experience with Viji. My boyfriend and I went for a private surf lesson with him this morning and we caught some great waves. He explained everything super well and helped us in the water. Would definitely come back and surf with him again!

I originally booked Viji for two sections, he was super helpful and able to find a surfing spot that match to my level. Moreover, he offered a lot of insight and feedback instantly each wave you caught. I end up booked 2 more sections with him. The vibe is great and knowledgeable and super friendly. It’s a little pricey but you get your money and experience worth it!

Had the absolute pleasure of having Viji as my surf coach - I initially planned a week of lessons but added more as was having so much fun! Viji was flexible and able to accommodate me at short notice. He was always taking us to the best spots for our level. I feel way more confident in the water as well as managing bigger waves and reef breaks. Viji is so reassuring and patient and helps so much with giving advice and tips to progress. The video analysis was so helpful to see what areas I needed to work on. He’s truly such an expert in his field; he knows everything there is to know about the local surf spots and gives constant guidance. Not to mention he’s just a lovely human. If you are looking for a surf teacher to help you level up fast, he’s your guy!

I had a great experience surfing with Viji. He is calm, patient, and really good at adapting the lessons to my level. He gives clear, useful feedback in the water and always makes sure I feel both safe and challenged. I’ve improved a lot thanks to him, and I had a great time along the way. Highly recommended! 🌊🤙

Absolutely amazing lesson today. At the start I could not stand up on the earth (never mind the sea) but by the end I was able to surf on my own accord. Highly recommended!!!

Viji is one of the best surf instructors I have ever surfed with! I went surfing with him several times - already last year - and really feel that I am progressing. Viji is super kind, explains everything super well, gives a lot of tips (also on which board to use etc) and always focused to level up your surf skills. Even in a short time now, I managed thanks to the great coaching of Viji to transition to a smaller 6‘8 board - wouldn’t have believed that this is possible in such a short time. Can only highly recommend taking lessons with Viji and once I’m back in Sri Lanka will def go surfing with him again!! 😊🏄🏼‍♀️ thanks so much Viji
