 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Всегда думала, что серфинг не для меня и не про меня. Думала, что не получится. Не смогу. Раньше уже жили на Шри-Ланке 4,5 месяца и даже не пускала мысль о серфе. В этот раз приехали всего на месяц. Случайно заехали в соседнюю кафешку на кофе и познакомились с Мани. На следующий день я уже стояла на доске 🥹 Спасибо за Мани! Обещал поставить и поставил! Жаль, что больше у нас не было возможности приехать. В следующий наш визит на Шри-Ланку мы обязательно вернемся и запланируем дни для серфинга 🤞🏼

As a beginner surfer I was sceptical I would be able to do anything at all but I ended up being able to surf. Mani was super accommodating and patient . The surf school had great new equipment and the location is perfect for learning to surf. Definitely recommend Jumani!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in Galle for 2 weeks and wanted to learn how to surf. The team of Jumani Surf School were incredibly welcoming and guided me through the whole experience. I took lessons almost every day and definitely saw an improvement but more importantly had a lot of fun. I felt safe at all times. They even watched my stuff for the time I went surfing and took videos for me. The location itself is also very beautiful and clean. You can definitely spend the entire day there. I would 100% recommend visiting Jumani Surf School.
