Eat. Sleep. Surf.
Spend a day in Sri Lanka with Kima Surf
Every day at Kima Surf is a mix of surf, friends and good vibes. No two days are ever the same, with each day bringing new surf spots, social activities, yoga routines and adventures. Here is what you can expect a typical day in Kima Surf, Sri Lanka, to look like!
06:00 AM - Rise, shine and surf
Wake up bright and early, depending on what time your session is scheduled, for your morning surf! First things first, grab a coffee and some bananas before giving your surfboard a wax and getting yourself ready for an awesome surf session. Our experienced surf guides will have the best spot picked out for you, depending on the conditions of the morning. No matter whether you’re joining a 1-6 star session or our Learn to Surf Program, we can guarantee you a good time in the water. Depending on which surf break you are headed to, you’ll either walk, take one of our tuks-tuks or hop in the truck to your morning surf.
When you arrive at the surf spot, you’ll take a seat on the beach with your surf guides, who will give you a spot introduction and safety briefing so that you feel safe and confident when paddling out and surfing. Next, it is time for a short warm up to get your muscles ready for your surf session. You and your group will spend the morning learning to surf or improving on the surf skills you already have, depending on your surf level. Your surf guides will be there for every step and you will receive tips after every wave you catch. After riding your last wave, you’ll head back to camp where you will receive personal feedback from your surf guides on how to improve for your next session.
09:30 AM - Brekkie time!
Now that you’ve worked up an appetite from surfing, it is time for breakfast! Join the other guests around the communal table to enjoy a three-course breakfast. Tuck into a variety of fresh foods including fresh fruit platters, banana pancakes, eggs, croissants, juices and local dishes.
10:30 AM - Relax and Unwind
Find a place to chill out and relax after your first surf session and breakfast. Chat to the new people around camp, read your favourite book, relax in a hammock or go for a swim in the pool. For those of you planning to stay in Weligama, you can book yourself a massage in our on-site spa, perfect for rejuvenating your tired muscles after a full day of surfing.
If you’d like to explore the many other things Sri Lanka has to offer, we have a few adventures planned for you! During your stay with Kima Surf, you can join one of our cultural trips to one of the following spots in your free time:
- Yala National Park: home to a variety of wildlife
- The Elephant Orphanage in Pinnalwala: a great place to see elephants up close
- Udawalawe National Park: to see beautiful nature and wildlife
12:00 PM - Classroom and surf theory
After spending some time relaxing, it is time to learn more about surfing in our six-time weekly surf theory classes. Learn more about the surf forecast, how to read the waves, tips on surf etiquette and the differences between styles of surfboards.
02:00 PM - SURF #2
Get ready for surf number two of the day! Two daily guided sessions are included in your Kima Surf package, so you can really focus on improving your surf and making the most of your time in our surf camps in Sri Lanka. So take a pick of the many locations and let’s catch some waves!
If you’re feeling a bit tired from your first session, don’t stress, you can take a break from surfing in the afternoon and join a workout or yoga session instead! There are also many opportunities to chill with friends around camp and get to know new people through our social activities like beach volleyball, karaoke nights, meet and greets and parties in the area.
8:00 PM - Sri Lankan Nightlife and Buffet Dinner
After a full day of surfing and meeting new people, you’ve got to be pretty hungry! Luckily for our guests, we have delicious buffet dinners five times a week, included in your stay. Enjoy a mix of different cuisines, including pasta nights, Mexican dishes and of course Sri Lankan traditional food. On Fridays, the whole camp gets together for a lively BBQ night at camp, which is always a highlight of our guests’ stay.
If you’re still feeling full of energy, join us to grab a drink with your fellow surfers at one of the amazing parties in the area. However, remember you’ve got an action-packed day waiting for you tomorrow!
