Dilsiri Welikala is already comfortable out at sea. a??Ita??s an amazing feeling, harnessing the power of the wind to propel yourself along,a?? he says. He talks of skimming along the water for hours at a time and of chance encounters with pods of dolphins. Though he needs a little help getting his 10 square metre kite up, once thata??s done and the lines and harness are secured, hea??s good to go.

a??Your kite becomes like an airplane wing,a?? says Dilsiri, explaining that he controls the direction of his kite by changing the angle of his board. Kite surfers are slaves to the winds and will drive many hours to catch the right kind. As a result, this group has been all over the island, from Puttalam to Arugam Bay.

Arugam Bay and our connection with A?Bob’s A?two surf boards….


Well, this most certainly isna??t my first surfboard but it was a special board. Maybe you will agree. It had a very, very interesting life! The one on the left.

The one on the right was Nataliaa??s first surfboard. The same very interesting life.

We had walked into the surf board shop at Sorake Beach on Nias, Indonesia to rent boards. We stayed at the Friendly Inn with Rick and Sheryl.

As we were staying there for some time, over the course of time, I had gone by the shop almost every day. The shop was between our bungalow and the point. We could either paddle by it of walk by it coming of going surfing.

There were 7 blanks standing in the corner of the surfshop. The shop owner said that an Ozzie had brought them and was going to shape them, but had suddenly changed his mind and left. There the blanks stood.

Like I said we were there for some time.

One day I got the idea to tell the shop owner that I would shape all of them, he puts up the materials. I had to glass these two but he would glass the remaining 5. I get the two boards. He gets the 5.

Here they are as you see them. It was my 108th and 109th board. Surfers remember such things, dona??t they? I mean unless youa??re some kind of machine in a manufactures establishment.

Anyways, no more renting two boards for the week. I put in a week of work and get two boards. Good deal, yeah? Natalia was well on her way to learning how to surf and so when she got this board she was ready for it. Natalia did the designs. We were limited to pigment colors. We were on Nias. It had taken the shop owner a three day turn around trip to go and get the glass, resin, acetone, etc. For some reason we named our boards. I had never done that before. Flower and Sunkiss.

So every evening, in the some what cool of the evening, Ha! a??we were at the equator, I was at his shop for that week shaping the boards, then glassing ours.

We stayed for 4 months with a turn around visa after two months.

We went over to Bawa at the end of our trip there on Nias. After Bawa we went to the Philippines for the typhoon season and then the next year we went to Sri Lanka. Eastern Province at Arugam Bay to stay with Fred and Somlak at their Siam View Resort.

We made a decision to leave our boards there as we were going to Japan. We could come back the next year and have them. That was our idea.

The painting of Flower and Sunkiss is on our patio of our bungaloo at Siam View, Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka late August, 2004. I had taken up water color painting as hobby.

In December of that year, 2004 the tsunami generated in Nias went to Sri Lanka, Winston salem healthcare coumadin clinic Arugam Bay and reclaimed Flower and Sunkiss.

Next Arugam Tsu: Only a matter of time?

Tsunamis triggered by a strong quake in the South Pacific have killed at least 90 people across a number of islands.

At least 65 people were reported dead in Samoa, more than 20 in American Samoa and at least six in Tonga.

Samoan officials say whole villages have been destroyed while thousands of people are reported to have been made homeless in American Samoa.

An 8.3-magnitude quake struck at 1748 GMT on Tuesday, generating 15ft (4.5m) waves in some areas of the islands.

The Samoa islands comprise two separate entities – the nation of Samoa and American Samoa, a US territory. The total population is about 250,000.

A general tsunami warning was issued for the wider South Pacific region but was cancelled a few hours later.

The general manager of Samoa’s National Health Service told the BBC that 65 people had died and 145 people were injured.
US President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in American Samoa, enabling federal funding to made available to help victims.
Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said he was shocked at the devastation.

“So much has gone. So many people are gone,” he told the AAP news agency.

False alarm

“Some of the areas are only a few feet above sea level, so you can imagine the devastation,” said Eni Faleomavaega, who represents American Samoa in the US.

“It caused severe damage to property, there are cars floating everywhere.”

Mr Faleomavaega told the BBC the waves had “literally wiped out all the low-lying areas in the Samoan islands”.

He said the tsunami had hit within minutes of the quake, leaving people with no time to escape.

“There would have been no warning system capable of giving adequate warning to the people,” he said.

Samoa’s Deputy PM Misa Telefoni told Australia’s AAP news agency that “the ocean went out within five minutes”.

“With the location and the intensity… I don’t know if anything better could have been done.” Continue reading ‘Next Arugam Tsu: Only a matter of time?’

A typical Sri Lanka Beach

Sri Lanka has enjoyed rising popularity among British travellers this year despite the global recession, according to new statistics.

The country’s tourist board announced figures showing that visitor numbers from the UK were 16.9% higher in August 2009 than in the same period last year.

From all tourism source markets, Sri Lanka recorded an overall increase of 32% in inbound visitors last month.

The tourist board also revealed that forward bookings indicate a strong finish to the year following the relaxation of travel advice by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK.

Sanjika Perera, Sri Lanka’s UK tourism director, said: ‘We have worked on a persistent promotional campaign in conjunction with the hotel industry back home and with our airline and tour operator partners in the UK and the results have been very positive.

‘To have improved visitor figures during the recession shows that the British public are aware of the diversity that Sri Lanka offers and keen to experience an Indian Ocean break, at an attractive price.’

Travellers can catch flights to Colombo to visit attractions such as Yala National Park and Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka.

FINALLY went to arugam bay. i don’t find the beach as spectacular as the beaches in trinco but i can definitely see why the surfers love it. the waves are high, rough and mean business. will i make a nine hour journey to a’ bay again? perhaps. but only for the laid back culture that is unique to this place (it has the hippyness of hikka without its commercialness i think), Galaxy Lounge-the chilled out little place we staid for dirt cheap rates, the pizza at Saman’s Surf and Sun, the crab dish at Ranga’s Beach Hut, and the home made dark chocolate ice cream at Ghecko’s.

It was a windy day in Arugam Bay, Steve who jointly run’s Rocco’s clicked the pictures. Wish one had kited a bit longer or closer to the seas. Alas, it was offshore wind so the fun actually happened at Main Point. Perhaps in October Steve, the kitesurfers will be back, this time with onshore winds!
