What you will get...
As part of your package we provide accommodation with en-suite facilities and all meals are included. Surfing equipment is provided, we have both long and short boards available, please indicate if you plan to bring your own surf equipment or if you have a preference of board type. All levels are welcome, Jack will tailor each package to suit its participants ability, giving each participant individual coaching, techniques for improving or basic maneuvers, not matter what your level. We also offer a surf/yoga package which includes yoga sessions with our residence yoga teacher. Return transfers from Colombo, Sri Lanka's international airport are also included in your package price.
We enjoy an early start, the surf and weather conditions will determine our surfing location for each day, we use our custom built surf truck to get to many of the untouched beaches along Sri Lanka's Southern coast (depending on conditions and ability levels within the group.)
Each of the 90 minute water sessions are goal-orientated and tailored with progression and development in mind. Whether it's tempting you into the water for your first session or coaching more advanced surfers through perfecting their bottom turns with analytical video analysis, you will find that our unique combination of coaching, practical demonstrations and practice at the beach will do more than just get you to your feet.
In addition to time at the beach our technical video feedback and surf theory presentations (30 minute dry sessions) carried out in the comfort of the poolside restaurant provide students with a much better understanding of surf and how to improve their surf. Through our instruction, we encourage people to understand surfing's bigger picture, we break our lessons down into bite-sized blocks consisting of the skills required to advance.
All sessions are conducted with a BSA certified Surf coach and a RLSS professional beach lifeguard, Jack Phillips.
These qualifications mean that Jack is regularly assessed in not only his own ability to surf but to communicate and teach, as well as ocean rescue techniques and first aid including CPR that is internationally recognised help ensure the highest standards of quality tuition and safety.
Because we limit the numbers in our all inclusive 7 & 10 day surf and yoga programs we aim to be ethical and low impact in relation to our environment and toward those who surf around us, giving you more one on one training.
For those who avail of our surf and yoga packages, we want you to relax and enjoy the calmness that Talalla offers, stretch your mind and body by enjoying yoga sessions with our residence yoga instructor and massages in our spa.
