We had a brilliant time here. Talallah is great with good accomodation, fab healthy food and an excellent level of service. The surf camp is outstanding with a very high level of tuition. I have had lessons before in uk and abroad. They were no where near the quality offered at Talallah. Nothing is too much trouble and the guys... More

I recently returned from my second visit to Talalla Surf Camp and am already looking forward to the third next year. Jack and Ben are great coaches and Johnny's video footage helps bridge that gap between what you think you're doing on those waves and what you're actually doing. The food is tasty, the accommodation is great and the atmosphere... More

I spent a week learning to surf at Talalla while vacationing in Sri Lanka. Overall an amazing, unique experience and I did catch one big wave my second last day. The video feedback is such a great way to see what you are doing right/wrong. They really helped me improve all aspects of surfing from paddling out to fine tuning... More

Jack and Ben were fantastic instructors, and made every session informative, productive, and most importantly, fun! You can really tell that they have a passion for what they do! In addition, thanks to Jonny we also have... More

It's difficult at best to find a family vacation venue that meets the expectations of both parents (50+) and teenagers but the Talalla surf team really came thru for us! From the moment that we arrived, at the very relaxed 'oasis' of Talalla Resort, the rhythm of our vacation was set-the perfect combo of adrenaline and chill time (read that... More

On all accounts I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Talalla Surf Camp. Fantastic employees, amazing location, superb food and fun waves.

Most importantly I was able to excel my surfing abilities in an environment which was safe and suitable. The yoga... More
