Surf and SUP Instructor courses in Sri Lanka
Currently due to Covid-19 we have no availablity for ISA courses until further notice.
Surf Insight in Sri Lanka offers an exciting, fresh and completely new approach to Surfing and Stand Up Paddle Level 1 and Level 2 Instructor Courses. We know that Surfing and SUP instruction is moving into a new era, where serious coaching is delivered by dedicated and motivated professional coaches, providing greater fun, safety and the chance for quality skill development to those they coach and teach.
Not only do we offer the International Surfing Association Level 1 and Level 2 Surf Instructor Courses and the International Surfing Association Flat Water SUP Level1 Instructor Course but also the chance to learn a system and coaching pathway that’s been developed for over 35 years teaching and instructing by ISA / ILS Course Presenter Tim Jones.
Backing this up is also the opportunity to take the new International Life Saving / ISA Water Safety Award that’s totally geared to the world of work of a Surf or SUP Instructor. An ILS Award is vital to hold to validate any ISA Instructor Certificate and our course is challenging, fun and very rewarding.
Often we know that prospective instructors enter these types of training courses not knowing what to expect and what’s expected of them. On the Surf Insight ISA courses it’s not like that, we want you to know exactly what you will encounter. So do take your time to read and assimilate all that you will see on this website, no matter what your experience level is.
Oh, and of course the surf and paddling is excellent and we make sure our schedule gives you quality water time when you’re with us.

The courses are run over a 5 period and to help you through all your practical work we supply you with pre course surf or SUP teacher training videos and lesson plans that give you solid in depth knowledge before you come to us and are invaluable teaching tools for your future coaching.
This is the great advantage of the Surf Insight ISA Level1 courses.

We run our Surf Level 1 and SUP Flat Water Level 1 separately and do not deliver them as one course.
“The course helped me become more efficient at planning and running surf lessons. Getting knowledge and advice from such an experienced surfer and accomplished instructor as Tim gave me a huge morale and confidence boost. Enlightening experience and great fun!”
