Day 3: Weligama Beach – 1 basic surf lesson
Wake up to a freshly prepared breakfast of both Sri Lankan and western foods (changing daily as you wish). This will be day two of your surfing career, so slap on the sunscreen, take your theory and practical lesson at the theater (the theory is every day and can be before or after the surf session), jump in a tuk-tuk, and head to the surf school for either a lesson or guided surf.
After this day’s morning surf, all the lessons are finished and hopefully, you will catch your own waves on your own at a surf spot.
