Kallialay Surf School
Long-running surf school at Serenity Beach offering lessons, board rentals and SUP for all levels.
A popular sight in and around Pondicherry, Kallialay Surf School is often praised for: great experience at kallialay.booked a 3-day private lesson and had loads of fun catching waves.instructors are very dedicated and patient, they really make an effort to help you learn.
shoutout to rizzy, max and jasmine Had the most amazing experience at Kallialay (I did the 5-day course).
Surf lessons run in fixed morning slots when the sea is calm. Book ahead in season and keep the next stop flexible for rinse-off time.
Routing tip. Give this stop enough buffer for photos, tickets, and slower groups.
