Elle M2024-11-18I cannot recommend Yaka enough! I initially signed up for 5 days and ended up doing 10 days because it was so good. My instructor Vidura taught me so well and I progressed much quicker than I thought I would. He was encouraging but also challenged me and became my friend 🫶🏻 Yasiru and the whole team are so welcoming and have created a great place to learn but also to relax and enjoy the beach. They give you everything you need for the lesson and towels, water and fresh coconuts afterwards while you relax on the sun beds. I will be back for sure! Thank you guys ❤️Antonia Claas2024-11-15Haben hier 3 Surftage verbracht. Die Stunden sind sehr individuell und angepasst. Wir hatten bei Mithila Unterricht und das war wirklich super. Kann ihn als Surflehrer sehr empfehlen .Jan Meyer2024-11-10Nishu was the best coach we ever had! It was so much fun and we could directly stand up on some waves!Rut Bara2024-11-08I recently took a surfing lesson with “YAKA SURF”, and they were amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and skilled. They explained everything so clearly, making it easy and fun to learn. I highly recommend YAKA SURF for anyone looking to have a great surfing experience!Marta Chwierut2024-11-02I just completed a 7-day course at YAKA Surf Club, and I went from beginner to intermediate on a shorter (but still long) board! Our instructor, Gayan, was incredibly focused and professional. He taught me how to read the waves and significantly improved my technique, for which I’m very grateful. He consistently challenged me, leading to substantial progress. The school itself made us feel completely cared for. After each lesson, we were provided with fresh towels, water, or delicious king coconuts. All the staff were friendly and fun, and the facility was impeccably clean. Throughout the course, we had free access to surfboards for free surfing. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to improve their surfing skills! 🌺🌴🏄🏻♀️🤙 Also if you want to have beautiful pictures from surfing ask for Yasiru’s sister - she is very talented photographer and she can take awesome pics for a small price!Hanga Ress2024-11-02We had an amazing week with Yaka. We had 7 surfing sessions with them, 2 hours/day and on top of this, after our lessons we could use the boards all day long for free. The service was perfect. After surfing we got towels, water, coconut/coffee, they took us to another spots with tuktuk. We recommend also the owner, Yasiru’s sister as a surf photographer. She took photos about our surf sessions and we got amazing photos. Our surf instructor, Gayan was dedicated, focused and with his surf experience and knowledge we developed a lot in these 7 days. I am intermediate and I switched my board to shorter with his help. My friend came as beginner and in these 7 days she improved and became an intermediate surfer. We are planning to come back and catching more waves with Yaka.️Itay Adres2024-10-31my family and I had great time in Yaka surf school. My wife and my kid took lessons- and it was different from what we knew about surfing lessons. The instructor was very professional and gave good instructions that gave them good self efficacy to surf by themselves. The atmosphere, the good vibes and the good care of the staff is unusual and definitely made our vacation joyful and better. Can’t wait to comeback soon ❤️Mathilde Saber2024-10-26Premier cours de surf de ma vie et que dire WOW. Je pense que j’aurais pas pu avoir meilleurs explications et réussir aussi rapidement si je n’avais pas pris ce cours dans cette école alors merci beaucoup Nishu je reviendrais avec plaisir !Guy Kahan2024-10-23Problematic place. Thetf and disinformation. Had my kid take a lesson at Yaka. I asked about a 30 min lesson, and got a quote of Rs. 1,000 in Yaka, so I assumed an hour will be 2,000 and an hour and a half 3,000 + tip. Once completed I was told the price is Rs. 6,000...and that no one on the beach will give lesson for 1.5 (a day later I got a lesson somewhere else exactly for that price). After 10 min of arguments I ended up paying 4,000 (and leftanother 1,000 tip for the instructor). But worse, during my kid's lesson, when I was with him in the water, my Birkenstok plastic sandles were gone, from the very center of Yaka's grounds...Sorry, but I have a problem to believe that they were taken by mistake (no other pair was left) or pulled by the ocean (they were on top of a sun bed). Very uncool experience in a place that looks very cool from the outside.Levi Chiles2024-10-21Nishu was awesome! We went from 0 experience to catching our own waves in the first lesson. Highly recommend!
