Ruasta Surf School

Ruasta Surf School

Small groups, stern coaching, and you'll stand on day one · Kuttikkadu, Black Beach Road, Varkala

SFI-certified and registered with Kerala Tourism, Ruasta runs a progressive training model out of Varkala — small groups, personalised attention, and coaches who push you harder than you'd push yourself. Shaiju and the team are known for getting nervous non-swimmers standing on their first session, and for throwing in free pool lessons and evening sessions when they think it'll help. Ocean awareness and surf etiquette come as standard.
