Back home now from a month long trip out in Sri Lanka, I love rice and curry but boy I’m glad to be back, lets just say spicy food every day including for your breakfast is a recipe for disaster.
The WQS comp went well for me, posting the second highest heat score of the day my new 5′9 Luke Hart Quiver surfboard was working really well on the point.
By the time the rest of the UK crew had flown out for the Champion of Champions event me and my travel buddy Ruben Pearce were feeling right at home on the long peeling rights of A Bay.
In the end the comp wrapped up with both me and Ruben making the man on man final, Ive competed in this event three times now so to finally win after spending so much time training on the point lets just say i had a grin form ear to ear. A fitting end to an extended stay in Arugam Bay.
Big congrats to Ruben who finished 2nd and has been a previous winner of this event, you were ripping the point buddy and had me worried on more than one occasion.
Check out these little vids filmed and edited by none other than CARVE ed Sharpy of the trip to Sri Lanka and all the action from the event, Sharpy who spent 7 days in Sri Lanka of which he spent 7 days swimming the rip on the point shooting video and stills, mans a fish i recon, good skills mate.
cheers Stokesy
