Meet Achi

Ten years of reading the ocean.

Achi has spent the last decade surfing the south coast of Sri Lanka. He knows how the local breaks change with the swell, tide and wind — and uses that knowledge to put every surfer in the right place at the right time.

His coaching is calm, personal and practical. Beginners learn step by step without pressure, while experienced surfers get precise guidance to improve their positioning, timing and confidence. Achi also genuinely enjoys teaching children, creating lessons that feel safe, patient and fun.

Achi surfing from the water's point of view

From gentle first waves in Weligama to more challenging breaks along the south coast, each session starts with finding conditions that suit you.

Where we surf

The right break for you.

Weligama is the home base and a great choice for many lessons. When another break offers a better match, Achi can take you to a different south-coast spot. The final choice always depends on the swell, wind, tide and your experience.
