I can't speak to the surf school itself, but my experience renting a scooter from them was quite negative. They attempted to charge me for damages that were clearly from a pre-existing defect they were already aware of. Additionally, they wouldn’t return my passport until the matter was settled, which made me feel very uneasy. Throughout the entire process, the staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. I won't be renting a scooter from them again.

What an incredible experience! The instructor was not only patient and friendly but also made me feel at ease right from the start. The lesson was well-structured, and I found myself standing on the board much quicker than I anticipated. I wholeheartedly recommend Pappy's Surf School to anyone who visits Arugam Bay.

I had an amazing morning with Pappy at Elephant Rock, where I learned the fundamentals and got assistance in catching plenty of waves. Pappy's instructions were straightforward and beneficial, and he showed great patience with us. The atmosphere felt safe and incredibly enjoyable. Thank you, Pappy! I now feel more confident about trying surfing again.
