Kallialay Surf School

I took intermediate surfing lessons from Kallialay Surf School and every single rupee spent was totally worth it. I had 3 years of bad habits and incorrect surfing form that Juan helped me break out of. My surfing got smoother over the source of a week and I caught more waves than I have ever in a surf session. I think I have finally broken out of the beginner barrier into intermediate zone (and on a hardboard) after a hundred surfing sessions, all thanks to Juan. Some of the things Juan fixed for me were - the position of my toes on the board, sliding while popping up instead of climbing, the angle and position on my hands on the board, the angle and form of my hands while paddling and the disciple of looking at the wave - and most importantly WHY all of those things were important. He explained the physics of surfing with good form vs bad form and I instantly knew why some lessons I got from other surf instructors in other parts of the world were totally incorrect. I would fully recommend anyone who seriously wants to progress in their surfing to come to Kallialay. I mean, sure, there are many surf schools that will teach you how to get on a board and ride the waves that catch you to the shore, but at Kallialay you could learn how to catch and control your own wave instead of being caught by one by luck.

I did surfing for the first time in my life, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences. All the coaches at kallialay Surf School are experienced and humble. I did 5 days course here, and the time I spent surfing was the best in my overall trip. I used to look forward every day for the surf session. If you are traveling to auroville and pondicherry, I highly recommend surfing at kallialay Surf School. Best instructor, best crowd and best learning. Have fun

Highly recommended. The owner, Samay, and the teachers are friendly, patient, and motivating. I took one beginner surfing lesson. I feel as if I learnt a lot for the amount of time I spent. They have 90 minute sessions for reasonable rates if you are interested in exploring this sport. I was provided with all the necessary equipment before the lesson and the basic theory of surfing was also taught to me before starting.
Warning: It's not for the faint hearted. Even though they teach you in the easiest way possible the water does not take it easy on you. You will fall down multiple times and there is a high chance the wet sand will bruise you.
P.S. - You won't have access to a private shower so be ready to go back to your accommodation for a proper cleanup.
