The camp
At Lapoint everyone arrives on the same Monday. The shuttle leaves Colombo airport that day whatever time your flight lands, and the people climbing out of the van three hours later are your week: eighteen to forty, twenty-six on average. The camp opened at the end of 2022 on Matara Road, with Kabalana beach just across the road. Every room, dorm or double, has its own bathroom and air conditioning.
No other house in the village cuts the week into as many shapes. Levels are counted in days you have already surfed: level 2 from about eight, level 3 around forty, level 4 around sixty-five, with no more than four students to a coach. The standard week gives you five two-hour lessons, the intensive ten. Past six hundred hours in the water, guiding takes over: two sessions a day for five days, a briefing and three video reviews, and you bring your own board. The Essential week sells just the bed and the meals.
Days start at sunrise, in the water opposite or doing yoga on the roof, and after breakfast the tuk-tuks take each group out. Afternoons go on the pool, the hammock nets, ping-pong and the skate corner. Five dinners are served in camp; the other two you eat in the village. On flat days the house takes the group out, turtles to waterfalls. The wifi copes with messages, not video calls.
Go if you are travelling alone and want a crowd from the first evening, and leave the work at home.

Frequently asked questions
Which level should I book?
Level 1 is for people who have never surfed. Level 2 starts at around eight days of surfing, level 3 around forty, level 4 around sixty-five, and video review comes in at that point. Beyond roughly six hundred hours, book guiding, where no board is provided.
What is not included?
Two dinners out of seven and lunches, which the camp serves à la carte, the Monday shuttle from Colombo, sold as an extra, and the excursions. Published prices are per-person minimums: your room and your dates move the total.
Can I have a room to myself?
Yes, on request through customer service: single rooms exist, but neither a description nor a price is published. Otherwise the doubles, the twins and the four to six bed dorms all have their own bathroom and air conditioning.
