Went to Sri Lanka in January for a month and loved it! People were lovely, food was amazing. We spent two weeks in Hiriketiya and totally recommend popping there for a visit and a surf for beginners.

Hey mate….what a great channel you are creating here….just so practical ( love the text bullet points GREAT addition )
My question is did I see you snap your board in SL….was it the HI4…. Thank you if able to answer.

Great video! I am going to Srilanka for the month of September, should I rather go to the south or east coast, given that is when the seasons change (October)?

Can you please recommend a camp for an intermediate longboarder for October 2023?

[JulianBars]

Hey great video thanks!
I thinking to go surfing from mid november to mid december and I'm thinking about going to sri lanka. I'm an intermediate surfer. I was wondering how el nino this year is going to effect the waves over there? would you say its still worth it to go there in that time period or rather go somewhere else?
Thanks a lot!!

Where would u suggest going to from the UK over Christmas for a tropical surf on a budget?

[BodyLifeMvmt]

Hello, your classic. Thinking of Sri Lanka in April. Funny I was looking thru surf stoked adventures. Are you affiliated? I wanted to go to Maldives (on a mid size budget) then Sri Lanka . Watcha think. Thank you

[chloechen]

Is the beach and water clean? I mean comparing to Siargao or Bali

Hi Chris,
Any recommendations for a 5 star hotel/ surf camp for a older surfer (60) and a non surfing wife for December?
Looking for something nice where there's an option for the wife to hang out in a resort drinking cocktail's by the pool when I'm out on the waves.
Cheers
Stuart

[joshchristie]

are there any places to buy decent boards over there? or is taking one over necessary?

[jamesjohnston]

Hey man. I’m off to Sri Lanka in mid end November and was wondering if you knew anything about Sri Lankan airlines baggage allowance? They say it’s included in your free baggage but to “one set” which is a bit confusing. One bag with 2 board ok? Cheers boss

Hey! I am going to be in Sri Lanka from April 26th to May 6th. It seems like I am falling right on the transition season between the two coasts... Any guidance as to which coast I'd be safer opting for?

It would be helpful to remind visitors to respect the local culture in the country they surf.
It's unbelievable how the party people don't bother about others and disturb the local citizens and non surfers/non DM party animals freefom until early morning all through the night with their shit music. How can this be. Further more guys and girls walk around almost naked on the road, in the super markets, in the village. This gets worse every year. That sucks. And the image of foreigners is very bad. I don't see the reason why the surfer community is so ignorant and selfish for the world and values around them. It's a miracle to me and every year I'm looking forward that the season is over. Sorry to say.
