Jumpstart your surfing with a private lesson in the popular Unawatuna surf spot on a shallow, sandy break with consistent waves and your very own instructor, a veteran with at least 10 years experience. Leave with the confidence to surf independently, plus photos of your performance to share.

Sahana Beach....not Unawatuna beach

Sheryl_G, Jul 2025

Our "trainers" were great, and waves were "just right" for beginners. We enjoyed our session so much, that we booked another session after a break for lunch. Only issues we had was that this session is held at Sahana Beach, not Unawatuna beach.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hey Sheryl, thank you so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed your surf lesson ❤️ We learn something new every day and keep improving our services to provide a better experience for our customers. With your feedback, we have now changed the meetup location to Sahana Beach. We conduct surf lessons at Unawatuna beach since it's not beginner-friendly. Sahana Beach is ideal for beginners, and it falls under the Unawatuna city area, so we left our product title as "Surfing Lessons at Unawatuna" Thanks again!
