ARUGAM BAY 2017 - THE SURFING PARADISE OF SRI LANKA

Arugam Bay is the surfing paradise of Sri Lanka! It has a great beach, waves of all sizes and offers a decent nightlife so there's a party every night. We spend a few days in the nearby Pottuvil and got into a lot of unexpected situations!
P.s. there wasn't a lot of standard vlogging here, but bare with us as we're experimenting a bit. ;)
Accommodation: we stayed at the beautiful Babar Point, check their website here: babarpoint.com

    Thank you Hugo and Noemie for you vlog! I just watched twice. I went on Google Maps to see exactly where you filmed. I enjoyed seeing your drone images of Pottuvil beach with the surfers and the lagoon and Arugam Bay. It was interesting to see the round houses and also your drone images of the elephants. You are both having lots of great adventures as you explore Sri Lanka! I look forward to watching your next vlog! Keep having fun! Thank you! Thumbs up!

    Hey guys! I just recently checked out your webpage and it is SO COOL! I absolutely love it! :D Can I ask you what page you used (like wordpress or something?), what does it cost and how did you make it. I know it might be a bit private but would be cool if you could somehow give me the idea, I really really love the layout and everything. Keep it up! xx

I am off to Sri Lanka in 30 days so it's so amazing to get some insight. I am heading central then south, I can't wait!!!!

    Nice video! I wouldn't recommend any experienced or serious surfer traveling to Arugam Bay for the specific purpose of surfing! Waves are small, inconsistent, and it's very overcrowded. Just observe the surfing videos of the place. However, if you're also interested in nature, a hippie scene, relaxed atmosphere, a fairly exotic atmosphere, and are a complete beginner surfer, it just might be your cup of tea!

    Hahahaaaa..... I was surprised to hear that you people enjoyed a gas station strike :P :D, and By the way, if your coming to Sri Lanka again please notice that there are much more beautiful and romantic places in Sri Lanka for young couples like you could enjoy but foreigners do not know much about. As an example you could have a country side at #MEEMURE feeling with fresh BBQ from sprawns which you may catch in the middle of the night ( kinda adventurous ). If anyone need more places to enjoy for a cheap price please drop a comment. (Y) By the way nice video :)
