What time are the surf lessons?
We set the lesson timings according to sea conditions and tides, which change daily. Your exact time slot will be confirmed the day before. Please be punctual — our instructors run back-to-back sessions, and we want to respect everyone’s time.
How do I book a lesson?
It’s easy! Call or WhatsApp us at +91 94429 92874 before 7 PM the day before you want to surf. We run lessons every day of the year, depending on the sea conditions.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Yes. Swimming is mandatory for all group lessons. You don’t need to be a professional, but you should be able to swim at least 50 meters confidently without touching the ground. If you’re a non-swimmer, you can still learn — just book a private lesson instead.
Is there an age limit?
Not really! Anyone can learn to surf. That said, kids under 11 must take private lessons for safety. If you’re 60 or older, just let us know your comfort level — we’ll adapt the session to suit you.
What should I bring to my surf lesson?
Bring your own swimwear, sunscreen, and a towel. We provide everything else: a soft-top surfboard, a surf top (rash vest), and expert coaching.
Do you provide accommodation?
No, we don’t offer accommodation. But our location is easy to find — just search for “Kallialay Surf School” on Google Maps. There are plenty of places to stay nearby.
Will I be able to stand on the board in my first lesson?
Yes! Most of our students stand and ride their first foam wave in their very first session. Our teaching method is designed to make this happen.
Can I take more lessons outside of a package?
Absolutely. You can book as many lessons as you like — whether you’re continuing after a package or just want more water time.
Still have questions?
Just call or message us on WhatsApp — we’ll help you find the best time and lesson for your level.
Sea • Surf
At Kallialay Surf School, we believe surfing is not just about riding waves — it’s about developing a deeper connection with the ocean. Every lesson begins with awareness: understanding the tides, respecting currents, and recognising the ocean as a living force.
We teach our students to surf with care — not just for their own safety, but for the health of the marine environment. From using eco‑friendly equipment to keeping our beach clean, we’re committed to preserving the sea we call home. When you surf with us, you become part of this culture of respect and responsibility — one wave at a time.
