I had an amazing experience at the surf school in Varkala! The instructors were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, making it easy for beginners like me to get started. The lessons were fun and well-structured, and I was standing up on my board by the end of the first day. The vibe was friendly, and the location is stunning. Highly recommend it!

Honestly the best surf school and surf guides in the area. Asif knows all the good spots and I scored some incredible waves. He did so much to help me get to the spots, got me a great board and was the kindest person. If you need a surf guide, or lessons these guys are the people to use. If I could give 10 stars I would.

I’d recommend Asif to anyone who wants to learn surfing in Varkala. it feels like you’re surfing with a friend passionate about surfing instead of paying to buy a lesson.
Asif is friendly but do not be fooled he is VERY professional and know his stuff. As a beginner, it is hard for me to fight the waves to get to the waves breaking point but Asif is always within reach and has dragged me out to the wave breaking point so many times! He helped me wait for the right wave and ride it!
For the price that you pay, you get a very quality time with Asif, it is always not more than 3 people in one group lesson, I always had Asif’s attention and I manage to ride a few waves (on a day with waves condition ideal for beginners) on my first day surfing with Asif!
At the time of writing this review, I have just surfed the 2nd time with Asif and I will definitely surf with him again in Varkala.

I did the 3 hour evening tour! You’ll experience a nice kayaking tour for around 3 hours with one of the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. Asif our guide is relaxed guy open for conversation if you are down for it. All of the unique nature adventure for a fair fix price.
