Pappy’s Surf School

Really good surf school, owner is very nice and professional. We were able to surfing on first lesson with his teaching. Guys have good prices and they do great job

Do not go near this place! We received a really unprofessional guide. Even though it's our first lesson he asked us to carry the surfboard without explaining anything! We placed it on the sand and the sword broke. Even though it happened because of his lack of guidance, we were forced to pay an exorbitant price for the damage and also for the lesson which in the end did not take place at all because it was not possible to use the surfboard!

The surf instructor was 15 minutes late at the meeting point in front of his shop. We didn't get much feedback during the surf lesson. In the end we didn't get a discount even though we had less time to surf than agreed.

Such a nice experience…they‘ll give you tips and support you until you will stand on the board. Will definitely come back!

Perfect place to learn surfing.
Very professional and friendly.

We booked lessons at 6am. He was the sharp at 6 all ready to go. He looked for good waves. We settled at Peanut farm beach. He taught us the basics and took and surfed. Was very attentive and great teacher.

Would recommend to anyone.

The teachers are very nice! My boyfriend and I took the first class with them and we couldn't recommend it more! The teacher is very attentive and always says what you can improve, which is great to learn and feel more confident!

Rass is an amazing person. He is very reliable, honest and he will help you in anything you might need, providing the best experience in Arugam bay.

If you want to go surfing or travelling around this beautiful area, Pappi’ surf shop/school is definitively the place to go in Arugam bay.

Had a lesson at Pappy's. Good value session that included board hire & tuk tuk to good waves. Friendly and helpful instructor. Recommend coming here for a lesson or good value board hire! Thanks:)

Really good surfing teacher. He is friendly and knows a lot about surfing. We first went to different beaches with him to look for the right waves for our beginners level. Once we arrived at the right beach we were first taught on the dry. Later he will be in the water with you to help you in every wave and every time he has tips that will make you a little better every time. As a result, we soon succeeded in riding waves for a long time. And he is clearly very happy then! The lessen was 1 1/2 hours that we did. After that you are also really tired. Once back we were allowed to borrow the surfboards for an hour for free to surf on the beach ourselves.in short:
- professional & friendly
- extensive knowledge of surfing skills
- he seriously want you to learn how to surf
- definitely worth the money
