We are the recently formed Surfing Federation of Sri Lanka. Our mission and purpose is to create, for the first time in our history, a national body that will oversee and govern the development of the sport of surfing in Sri Lanka for all men and women.
We face a unique situation in that we must unite several cultures, religions and languages into our quest to become a surfing nation. Not an easy task, but one that we feel is worthwhile in order to create a sustainable, active, responsible and competitive future for present and future generations of Sri Lankan surfers.
