OUR STORY

Born Local, Built on Passion, Shared Worldwide

Be Cool Surf Camp didn’t start with big budgets or fancy gear — just two surfboards, a dream, and the waves of Weligama Bay. We’re a group of local surfers, born and raised here, who found joy, purpose, and connection in the ocean and wanted to share it with the world.

Since opening in 2013, we’ve grown from a few lessons on the sand to 90 boards and thousands of surfers from across the globe. But the heart of Be Cool hasn’t changed — it’s still friendly, laid-back, and full of love for the ocean.

We’re 100% locally owned, and every lesson is guided with patience, laughter, and the spirit of Weligama. Whether you’re catching your first wave or chasing the perfect ride, you’ll find more than just surfing here — you’ll find a family.

Be Local. Be Real. Be Cool.

WELIGAMA BAY SURFING CULTURE

Weligama Bay is the heart of Sri Lanka’s surf scene, offering a laid-back vibe, consistent waves, and a welcoming community. It’s a hotspot for beginners, intermediates, and advanced surfers, with surf schools, board rentals, and beach cafés creating a fun and social atmosphere. Surfers from around the world come together to share waves, exchange tips, and enjoy sunset bonfire parties. Whether you’re learning to surf or chasing the perfect ride, Weligama Bay’s surf culture is all about progression, connection, and good vibes.
