Sri Lanka

Well I'm super stoked to be writing this cause yesterday's drive from Colombo to Aragum Bay in Sri Lanka was HEAVY!!! Seriously, 9 hr mission from the West coast to the East coast filled with bumps, near death experiences and constant blind rise over takings... I'm kinda keen to look at trying to get a chopper out of here back to Colombo when the event ends, would definitely be a sick experience and a way safer means of transport back!!!
Enough about that, so I'm here in the South East part of Sri Lanka for the Sri Lankan Airlines Pro, 6* WQS event being held at Aragum Bay. It's a pretty fun , playful right hand point, very similar to say Ponto do Ouro and snapper mixed, but with less power and way warmer water! Surfed another spot earlier in the day about 20 min drive away from Aragum that reminded me so much of Mexico. The place is kinda just filled with these right hand sand points, pretty damn sick. And it looks like there's a little swell arriving Saturday for the event too which should produce some good waves and good surfing. Actually frothing to see what this point does with a little extra juice and size on it...Could just be on fire!!!
Will try post up some pics of this joint on my next post, the beaches are beautiful here, the accomo we're in is basic but the crew running it are super cool and make pretty good food!.
One thing i can say is it's bloody hot here!
Peace out
