during the years of 1998 and 1999 a couple of frinds and me spent 5 months in a small fishing village on the east coast of sri lanka, surfing waves that were still uncrowded by then.

today, things have changed a lot there. surf tourism is big, and the area was hit badly by the tsunami last christmas. but the friends we made back then are still there, and so i grabbed my surfboards in august to see how they are doing.
