The pristine beaches and the wild waves of the east coast of Sri Lanka will once again be the chosen venue for the SriLankan Airlines Champion of Champions BPSA
Surf Competition. This will be the second year SriLankan Airlines is co-sponsoring the event with BPSA (British Pro-Surf Association) and TTAL (Travel and Tours
Anywhere Limited). The event which is scheduled to be held from 27 to 30 June will be attended by over 50 professional surfers from United
Kingdom and Sri Lanka, together with a number of Australian surfers.
The surfing paradise of Arugam Bay was the obvious venue for the Championship as waves
there reach a height of fifteen feet or more, receiving the same swells that hit
other world renown surfing locations during the mid year. It is also legendary for its right-handers, a surfing term which means that the waves are favorable to right
handed surfers, who makes up the majority of the surfing community.
There are three popular point breaks within 20 minutes from each other, one reef breaks anything from 2-6 feet providing a wall that barrels to give a surfer his ultimate
adrenaline rush, an almost 400 meter ride. The other two breaks also provide high quality surf. With sea temperature that lasts at 27 degrees Celsius through out the
year, Arugam Bay is an ideal surfing location.
