Level 1: The First Wave
Catch Your Very First Wave in Paradise
Professional ISA-Certified coaching designed for anyone ready to experience the magic of the Indian Ocean with total confidence.
From the Sand to the Board
There is a specific kind of magic in the moment you first glide across the water. Our Level 1: The First Wave sessions are crafted for absolute beginners and those looking for a safe, supportive, and exhilarating introduction to the sport.
We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” coaching. We check the daily swell across the South Coast to find the calmest, sandy-bottomed waters—utilizing prime spots in Unawatuna and Dewata Beach—to ensure you spend less time falling and more time standing.
Your First Step into the Surf
In this 90-minute immersive session, we move at your pace. You will master:
Ocean Safety & Etiquette
Understand the waves, currents, and how to stay safe in the lineup.
The Signature "Pop-Up"
Learn our proven technique to move from lying down to standing in one fluid motion.
Stance & Balance
Find your "sweet spot" on the board to ride the wave all the way to the shore.
Functional Paddling
The secret to catching waves with efficiency, not just effort.
