  • Main Point Chronicles is a surf documentary about iconic surf spot of Arugambay aka the best wave in Sri Lanka (East coast), filmed during the wicked season 2020.
    A bunch of locals and handful of stranded tourists get to experience anything from middle sized glassy waves to massive, epic swells of Main Point.
    Filmed and edited by Inna Rabotyagina @surf.stories exclusively for @surfersofsrilanka.

    The first place I ever surfed 16 years ago, will always have a special place in my heart ❤

    I've surfed there. The swell is consistant. For the wave itself, the video speaks better than words.
    A very good atmosphere. Local people are very kind, the place has an authenticity that is difficult to find on popular surf spots nowadays.
    Fishing plays a great role for people from the coast. Hard workers loving what they do, a lot of tradition and ingeniosity. The mix of religions living now together after years of war is also very interresting.
    A beautiful country with a handfull of surf points of excellent quality.
    🤙

      @@enrique5604 Nope, too early. Usually as of end October - mid-November spots in the South start to work. But reefs like Rams take longer time. In 2022 it only started working in December. So if you're going in September - definitely Abay

      @@enrique5604 What to do around Arugambay: definitely a Safari to Kumana National park to see wild elephants, buffalos, leopards and many more; On the way to/from Abay go through Kandy (old capital of the Kingdom), visit tea capital - Nuwara Eliya. Take the old train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella among tea plantations - it's considered one of the most scenic in the world for a reason! Stay a night in Ella: see little Adam's peak, 9 arch bridge, enjoy mountains and some party. Re: B&Bs advice to check booking and do it soon cause September is high season, you wanna book your accommodation in advance. P.S. the video you watched here is mine:) I live in SL since 2018 and shoot surfing since then :)
