Hi, I’m Ale — your host at Stay Salty Surf House. I’m 32 years old and have been surfing for over 18 years here in beautiful Madiha, Sri Lanka. I’m an ISA Level 1 certified surf coach and have been teaching for more than 6 years, helping surfers of all levels improve their skills and enjoy the waves safely. Surfing is my passion and lifestyle — I love sharing it with people from all over the world. Whether you’re coming to learn, relax, or just enjoy local Sri Lankan life, I’m always happy to help with surf lessons, tips, and great food. Stay Salty is not just a guest house — it’s a place to feel like family and live the surf spirit! 🌴🏄‍♂️
