about isak - Founder of Coco Surf Camp

The Story Behind Coco Surf Camp

Born and raised in Arugam Bay, the ocean has always been Isak's home. He caught his first wave at 12 with international surf organization Surfing The Nation (STN) — and never looked back.

With over 10 years of teaching experience and multiple national championship appearances, Isak knows every wave, every break and every hidden gem Arugam Bay has to offer.

Through Coco Surf Camp, his mission is simple — to share not just surfing knowledge, but the real local experience of this incredible place. From your first wave to wildlife safaris and secret local spots, Isak wants every guest to feel the same freedom he felt the first time he stood on a board.

"This is more than just a surf camp — it's an experience, a journey, and a true connection to the ocean." Isak
