I heart WOTD
Today’s: notan like the present!
Apologies for being a little cryptic
I spent 3 weeks there in ‘93 when it was in the war zone. One of the best surf trips of my life, with my new girlfriend who I am still with, everyone treated us like we were sisters so it was cool to share a bed. There were waves every day. Some really lovely Aussies to hang out with and a Norwegian motorbiking across Asia who was covered with duck tape from learning to surf on the reef. I am stoked to see stories of local women surfing in the region now, that is definitely progress!
crew got pretty turned on around valentines day while watching the cricket by a potential wave behind the Galle Fort cricket ground, SW I think.. any intel on that area, @Stay? @shoredump's mate copped a few at Mirissa around that time, @etarip is organising a fantasy group trip for a bunch of us, but it's on a lot of people's 'hope I get the opportunity to go there one day' lists.. any stories would be appreciated!

Had 8 days of super fun waves at Rams Right in midigama on trip there .
Was end of month trip travelling around and just hired/ eventually bought board (snapped it). Groundhog day, 2/3 foot every day with a couple of bigger days, many sessions by myself or just a couple locals or other tourists.
Worst left in the world called lazy left down the road packed every day with euro pommy types learning to surf.
Surfed also a Beachy at Arugum by myself, didn't get to surf points, but was fun.
Saw waves at hikadua, but didn't surf, bit of a scene there.
Beautiful country, trains through centre are incredible, food delicious, friendly people and just an all round great travel experience.
Awesome wildlife to see, elephants like kangaroos in Oz country, everywhere.
Well worth a trip!
unreal, @andy-mac.. jeez you've been around mate. @blackers and i are trying to get @etarip to really organise it ; ) we'll stick your name on the list.. @Nick Bone has requested an islamic homestay for beef reasons.
The wave of the day does it for me big time. Nice work Steen Barnes , Shaun Anderson and Swellnet.
In one photo you've encompassed everything nice about surfing. If I was a wanker I'd say that it was perfect except for the fact he is in a wetsuit. Which it is , it's perfect .....except for the fact he's in a wetsuit.
