Summary: The Blue surf hikka is, indeed, the best surf school on the Hikkaduwa beach and even further. Me, my bf and all our friends, whom we non-stop recommend the school, have managed to stand up on the board during the first 5 minutes in the waves. The trainers speak good English and can explain easily what exactly you need to do; they are not just saying “paddle”, like in many other places, they explain how to position yourself on the board, how to balance the weight, how to jump correctly and when exactly to do it, how to notice the waves from afar and many other things. We have been going to Sri Lanka for 4 years now, and every time we bring our friends-newcomers here, to make their first surfing experience memorable. But apart from being a perfect surfing school, this place and Ruwan, the main guy (a real gem, one of the most intelligent, caring and wonderful people I’ve ever met), are offering very well-organized trips: thanks to him, we’ve visited Sigiriya rocks - climbed ancient ladders up a very high rock, astonished by the craftsmanship of those who lived thousands of years ago, Nuwara Eliya - the tea plantations and the waterfalls couldn’t be more refreshing, Kandy - the magnificent old temples and the city, allocated on the mountain spur, Ella - an unexpectedly European town in the heart of the island, with nice cafes and astonishing skies at night, and many many more - towers, lighthouses, whales.. All the trips were arranged perfectly, we could just sit back and enjoy: Ruwan took care or all tickets and entry permits, all transportation, be it his car, a new A/C van for a big group, a boat or even a zip line (!!!), accommodation - he knows all the best places and all the right people, or the local dining places. He is always ready to tell you about the place you’re visiting and suggest something impressive to see or to do. If you’re looking for a perfect vacation in Sri Lanka, all you have to do is contact him&BlueSurfHikka. That’s what we do every time and will do again next year. Thank you, Ruwan and all the best to you, your guys and the school!
