Nisse & Ingela run the local fish shop where we live in Sweden and they were here to visit us so we took them down to our favorite fish market in Dondra. It’s a big harbor and every morning the boats come in and sell fresh fish right on the concrete. This is where you
Back surfing at Lazy left! This left hand point break get’s a lot of love and hate from us. Love when it provides a hollow take off and it’s long lazy lines for us to noseride or cut back on. It does that especially good on some swells and sometimes it just doesn’t provide any shoulder at
Our great friend Wenche came down and stayed with us a week. The bonus by working as a stewardess is that you can travel cheap like that huh?! So envious.. With her she brought the best danish brown bread, three swedish cheese blocks and tons of swedish Marabou chocolate. Not to forget amazing energy! She
So South Coast took us by storm! Since we been back from Arugam Bay we’ve been constantly busy everyday. We’ve rented this Villa for a long on the south coast that’s going to function as our home for the near future. It’s a newly renovated colonial house close to all the good surf on the

A random mix of images from our stay in Arugam Bay. We like this place. It’s so different from the South Coast, in good and bad ways. It’s much more wild and undeveloped as the war was all over this place. Perfect sand bottom point breaks is tucked in between huge military areas so the
We’ve become good friends with a local family that lives next door to where we stay. Dhammika (the mum) runs a small home stay where Cailin stay. They’ve really taken Cailin in and it’s like her family now. We feel grateful to be part of it and we ‘ve been at her house for dinner almost
These last days when it’s been smaller waves we’ve been taking turns surfing the longboard. At the moment we only got one longboard with us, a 9’6 Noserider model. It’s Petters but he lets me use it. Pothuvil Point is a long, long wave machine.. And the beach is perfect for driving all the way
We have witnessed so many tropical thunderstorms lately. Pretty much one every evening. They come fast, hard and then they leave just as fast again. The sky turns really blue, the wind changes, rain comes and then thunder and lightening. So much lightening in just a few minutes or half an hour and then it’s over
