Comments
Was in SriLanka this time last year. What a beautiful place full of beautiful people and some damn good surf as well.
how consistent are surfable waves? im living about 1-2 hours east of Galle, on the coast, for 6 months or so later this year. wondering if its worth taking over a board or if i just buy some long board there for the rare grovel.
