Come surf with us in Sri Lanka
A beginner-friendly surf retreat in Ahangama, Sri Lanka, hosted by two ocean lovers who’ve lived the island life.
Lanka vibes
Down south Sri Lanka hits different. Ahangama and Weligama wake up slow. Long sandy beaches, mellow waves, secret little coves you stumble upon by accident, and sunsets that make everyone stop scrolling and just stare. Walk past turtles on random beaches. Galle adds its own charm with colonial streets, sea walls, and that golden-hour glow where the ocean meets history.
Lamana brings the perfect mix of music, movement, and culture. Doctor’s House is where surfers, travellers, and locals melt into one big, happy crowd. And then there are the secret jungle parties — tucked away, word-of-mouth only, where lights hang from trees and time disappears. South Sri Lanka isn’t just a destination; it’s a rhythm you fall into and don’t want to leave.

About us Jinal & Rajeev
Hi - We’re Rajeev and Jinal! Surfing wasn’t love at first sight for either of us, but we kept showing up. We started surfing in India and then tried it in many countries, finally making our way to Lombok, Indonesia. We’ve lived there, ate the local food, made lifelong friends, and got humbled by the ocean (many times) and fell in love with surfing a little more.
Surf Club India is our way of building a community that loves surfing and ocean as much as we do. We are not professional surfers, far from it. But you won't find two people more passionate about surfing than us! We want to share the mellow waves and long rides of Sri Lanka with surfers from India.
Why Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is one of the best places to go on a surf retreat because it gives you the perfect balance of great waves and an easygoing pace of life. The south coast has long, forgiving waves that are ideal for beginners and intermediate surfers, while still being fun enough to help you improve your pop-ups, turns, and overall confidence in the water.
Beyond the waves, Sri Lanka makes retreats feel effortless. Everything is close — surf, cafés, stays, yoga spots, and sunset points — so days flow naturally without being rushed. Add to that the friendly local surf culture, beautiful beaches, epic sunsets, and vibrant food and nightlife, and you get a retreat that’s not just about surfing better, but feeling better.
Who’s This Is For
If you’ve ever said, “I’ve always wanted to try surfing…”
