A Family Legacy Since 1978
We grew up with the ocean in front of us and a family legacy behind us
Rupa’s Surf Camp is built on a true Arugam Bay legacy. Back in 1978, our grandfather Rupa started one of the very first stays for surfers visiting the bay. Since then, our family has proudly carried on the tradition. Today, we’ve grown that spirit into a full surf camp experience. At Rupa’s, you’ll find surf lessons, guided safaris, east coast adventures, accommodation, and tasty local food — all in one welcoming place. Our goal is simple: to help you enjoy the best of surfing and Sri Lanka, just like family.
