How to fulfill your destiny - Learn too surf with weekend surf surf lessions. Buy some Volcom boardshorts and lets say.....ah.... a lost T-Shirt. Get some of those crazy Tribal surf tatoos. Paint your board just like Oscar Wright. Grow you hair long(remember surfers have long hair) Surf with no regard to etiquette or common sense. Speak like a Brit, German or Isreali. Killing it yet? You are now a fully fledged Euro Dork. Now Go hang out at A-Bay with all the other wankers that prolifirate our once beautiul spots.

HOW IS THE ROCK IN JAN/FEB - I am planning visiting SL to surf in late jan/feb so would appreciate any suggestions for spots to go to. Only have 9 days so dont want to travel 24hrs to get there.

Sri Lanka - The "HILTON" is the pits and full of theives plus the management are complete tossers! Forget it! I found most of the places are the pits but really cheap.I stayed there for a long time and most of the people are nice. Need to keep your wits about you though. Dont bother trying the A Bay in the Jan Feb months as its not going to be working and the local businesses wont be ready for tourists. I would go back but not for a while as theres much nicer places to surf and better waves.
