Chris Splendore to Sri Lanka
Here is a post from our own, Chris Splendore……….
Hey what’s up!!?
Floridian VIC Team Rider Chris Splendore here to tell you about an adventure I’m partaking in!!! I’m going to Araguam Bay, Sri Lanka on May 16th, 2011 and will be there for about 18 days. The trip has been 2 years in the making and my roommate Tad Mask has been frothing about this place for years! The potential for skim is definitely there. Where we are staying is a huge bay with what looks like nice sand and a good slope. With a 92% swell consistency for this time of year, we are looking good for scoring swell. Both of us wanted to go way off the ‘beaten path’ and get somewhere we could explore unproven breaks. I am sooo stoked for this trip! Got my new VIC poly/carb/epox and I’m ready to hit it!! Will be updating pics and vids on www.victoriaskimboards.com throughout the trip so get ready!!
……….be ready for more pictures and video of Chris’ trip to Sri Lanka.
