SAJA Surf

Surfing Lessons for Beginners & Intermediate 

Lessons for Children

About

Nice to meet you. My name is SAJA, I'm an ISA & ILS qualified surf instructor. I was born and raised in Arugam Bay, and the ocean is a significant part of my life. Besides surfing, I am a skipper and a fisherman.

​

The first time I surfed was at the age of 10 on an old board that someone brought me, the board had no pins or a handle, but I had so much fun and wanted to succeed in surfing that I didn't get out of the water.


I taught myself to surf, and at the age of 15 I already realized that, beyond the fact that surfing is so joyful, it also allows my mind to relax.

​

In the Arugam Bay area there are more than 10 different surfing spots, for different surfing levels. I know them all well and I would be happy to show you and introduce them to you. My favorite points are: the main point - the sea there is strong and powerful, and pottuvil point - where the waves are clear and long without a reef.

​

I really love my job and I hope I never have to change it, I love meeting new people from all over the world and teaching them the art of surfing. Surfing is a gift - when you surf, you will be close to the sea, to joy, and strengthen your body and mind.

​

Let's create experiences and memories from the magical Arugam Bay, come surf with me.

Beginners Surf Lessoons

In the beginner classes, we will learn first of all about the beach and the waves, about the different types of surfboards, safety and the rules of surfing. After the theoretical phase, the practical phase will come. Enter the water and try different surfing spots in the Arugam Bay area. The lessons will be held at spots that are suitable for beginner surfing so that you have a pleasant and successful experience.

Intermediate Surf Lessoons

In these lessons we pass a level. We will move from a soft surfboard to a hard surfboard, we will learn to identify the waves and the breaking points of the wave in order to take it in the most correct way. At this stage, you will learn to surf alone along the wave.

Surf Lessoons for Kids

I really like teaching kids to surf. Surfing gives them confidence in the water, it is a joyful activity that allows them to learn something new, it allows them independence, and strength.
I always hope that I will be the best teacher for them.
In the lesson we will learn step by step how to surf - from theoretical knowledge to practical in a fun way that suits your children.

“Saja is an excellent and professional teacher.  He taught me many things about the sea and the waves, even though I am not a beginner surfer.  He knows how to give the right tips so I saw progress already after the first .”
