It is better to take excursions from local guides (they stand either on the beach or right at the entrance to the hotel). It will be cheaper and more productive. Because the guides from the meeting party do not tell anything, they leave and make you wait in a hot bus. There is nothing else to see in Colombo except temples, there is no shopping in Sri Lanka at all, unless of course you are a fan of Indian second-hand. Buy tea just in Kalutara. Take a tuk tuk, negotiate a price and you will be taken all day wherever you want. The tuk-tuk people take everyone to a small street in a kalutara, where you can stock up on tea and all sorts of souvenirs. Look at the local fish market, where auctions are held at 5 in the morning, ride along the yellow river, between the avatars trees, there are a lot of monitor lizards, iguanas, and even a crocodile can be seen. You can look at the elephant and turtle nurseries. We didn't like anything else. Stock up on mosquito repellant. They are mutants there and just bite. In the evening it is really boring and this is a big problem throughout Sri Lanka. Alcohol type in duty free, because the local store there is only one under the bars and their alcohol can really get drunk. In general, you have chosen a good hotel. Just this money and is worth Sri Lanka.

There is definitely no surf school anywhere in Kalutara, I have not even seen anyone skating at all. But ask the locals on the spot. Maybe there is a school in Kalombo, although I didn't see anyone riding there either. Although it is strange, because the waves there are awesome and even just a normal person is quite difficult to swim. I advise you to carefully monitor the child when bathing. You go into the ocean knee-deep, and the waves instantly tighten up to your neck.

By the way, I forgot to mention the food. Do not overeat in cafes. Don't believe anyone who says it's cheap. For a person, for example, for a plate of shrimp and rice, pay about $ 25-30. Here's how much that's for three. It is better to take HB or All

Yarina, for the surf stations you should go to Bentota. There is nothing like surfing in Kalutara - only locals ride body-surf (more on this here http://www.turpravda.ua/lk/kalutara/Tangerine_Beach_Hotel-h18028-r48224.html Bentota is a neighboring town, the cheapest to get there by bus, trains don't stop there for some reason... A tuk-tuk ride will cost 500-1000 rupees. to ride both on a windsurfer (with a sail) and on a board in the ocean.In the meantime, while the child is mastering the waves, I think you will enjoy walking around the bay - in Bentota there is a beautiful beach, with a ledge of large boulders, rocks - the landscape is different from Kalutary The sand is whiter, finer.
I also heard that surfing is actively developing in Negombo - it's a little up from Colombo.

Regarding food, I absolutely agree with lera-ltd - it is optimal to take breakfast and dinner at the hotel. You can have lunch or fruit - it's hot during the day, not up to gorging .. or go to a restaurant. well, in the evening, no one forbids a light snack at the hotel and go to eat something special in a restaurant on the beach. Yes, not communism. Already on the third day, we didn’t really like leaving 50-60 bucks every evening for a couple of servings of grilled fish ...
