"I had the privilege to spend a few days with star rest surf camp crew in September, and I must say that it was a memorable time for the very beginning. A special thanks to the coach Ansa, who was truly patient on each lesson and always guiding with the best vibe. Will see you around some day guys, thanks for the time ❤️"
"I spent four great days at star rest surf camp. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff were kind and accommodating. The highlight of the stay was definitely the surf coaching. The ratio of coach to student was second to none. During most sessions I received one on one coaching, and on several occasions two coaches were on hand to support. So if you’re visiting to learn how to surf better, I would very much recommend the star rest surf camp."
"Had one on one lessons with Ansal. Fantastic time and a lovely guy. Was on a hard board on waist - shoulder height green waves by day 6 and improving quickly, Ansa showing me how the line up works, how to chose a wave etc. Left feeling confident to practice on my own. Highly recommend"
"Just perfect! I can’t really describe it but the camp, people and kindness of everyone was special. This was one of my best traveling experiences so far. I really felt that I connected with the other people at the camp but also with the locals, surf instructors and management. Especially with Ansa (camp Owner). For me as a beginner it was perfect..also the Yoga lessons with meli were very well nurtured to the surfers needs. Stay there, get to know the people and enjoy Arugam Bay as well. You will see water buffalos, peacocks, elephants and monkeys when getting to the surf spots as well! 10/10"
"my girlfriend and I are first time surfers and had such a great time over the course of 8 lessons. Ansa was an awesome instructor and made us feel super safe and supported. Couldn't recommend it highly enough, we'll be back!"
"Ansa is a pro, he cares about surfing and it shows. Previously I only had one surf experience where it felt very rushed and although fun, it didn’t teach me much. Afry explains everything you need to improve and helps you ride the perfect wave. Video below is from my first day, don’t mind my hand flapping in the air, I’ll continue to work on that. :) Thanks for having me! ."
"Just came back from Sri Lanka and had an unforgettable experience in surfing with Ansa, my surf instructor. His experience coupled with his patience allowed me to pick up surfing at a comfortable pace. I really commend his dedication in making surfing easy to pick up and fun to learn for his learners. I will definitely recommend finding Ansa for a surf class if you are around the area."
"Great experience! My kids loved Ansa lessons and learned a lot in 9 days. He speaks very well English. Highly recommended!"
"Ansa is a great surf instructor and now a dear friend. He really took care of me and my friend when I came to Sri Lanka and thanks to him I moved from being just a beginner to using a hard board. Pushing me where needed he was always very safe, supportive and encouraging. Looking forward to surfing with him again soon!"
"Booked Surf Lessions with star rest surf camp. Had amazing surf lessons with Ansal! He’s super patient, friendly, and clearly knows how to handle beginners :). He explained everything really well and made the whole experience fun and motivating. I left feeling much more confident on the board — highly recommend booking with star rest surf camp."
"i can definitely recommand this star rest surf camp. my surfteacher was Ansa and he makes his job very good. he is smiling all the time and has such a great energy. thanks for all!"
"Got 14 separate days of lessons with my partner. You book a 2 hour block of time, and after transport it's about 90 mins of surfing per lesson. Ansa made sure to stay later for one day with us to make sure he didn't short change us any time. He's a super good instructor, speaks perfect English, and wastes no time. He got us up and surfing within 15 minutes of our first lesson (since we both had a handful of lessons years back). He works hard out there! He's super flexible and easy to reach, so we recommend if you're in Arugam Bay relaxing and want to learn in a mellow environment, give Ansa a call."
