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 a safe space 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 Events

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 Education and Advocacy initiatives, we raise awareness of environmental challenges, foster ocean stewardship and aim to redefine the image of the 'surfer girl' to be more diverse and inclusive.

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, such as educational workshops and all-female trips around Sri Lanka. Ready to dive deep into Sri Lankan culture?
