We envision a world in which women are empowered to enjoy the ocean and pursue their dreams.

Equal opportunities

In Sri Lanka, local women are hardly seen in the ocean and often excluded from the recreational and economic opportunities of surf tourism.

We believe that women deserve the same opportunities as men. We also believe that swimming and surfing can serve as powerful tools of social change. That is why we founded SeaSisters.

What We Do

Swim & Surf Programs

Through our SeaSisters Swim & Surf Programs, we create safe spaces for Sri Lankan women and girls to enjoy the ocean. Our lessons also serve as a platform to influence mindsets around gender norms and provide opportunities in surf tourism.

Community Building

We build a community of ocean-loving women who empower each other. Through our Community Events, we organise inspiring talks and fun trips for our members, creating a sense of sisterhood and long-lasting memories.

Education & Awareness

Through our Ocean Education initiatives, we raise awareness of environmental challenges and foster ocean stewardship. We also aim to redefine the image of the 'surfer girl' to be more diverse through campaigns and advocacy work.

Capacity Building

We invest in young women from rural areas to become community leaders, by creating steady employment, fostering local capacity building, and involving SeaSisters participants as community facilitators and speakers.

Tourism Experiences

To foster sustainable tourism, we build a bridge between tourists and the local community, offering unique tourism experiences. You can either become a Connect Member or book a workshop for your retreat or business. Ready to dive deep into Sri Lankan culture?
