@@TheCoolflameboi Red color ones are the state owned SLTB (Sri Lanka Transport Board) and other ones are privately owned buses. Yes, there is always competition among the buses to get passengers. The competition is not only between SLTB and private buses. There is competition among the private buses as well. Say for example, there are buses from Galle to Colombo and Matara to Colombo on the same route. If two buses going in the same direction are close to each other, there will be always be competition between them to get more passengers. It is very scary. You got be very careful when you are on the road in Sri Lanka.

Nice! Where’s the best place to stay for an advanced surfer in April? And a entertaining nightlife if waves are flat.

Hey Michael!! Good question. For me, Sri Lanka would be a decent option for that mix, otherwise, Peru has so many sick things to do (hiking and sites) and fun waves. You'd have to explore outside of the major surf towns though to surf anything uncrowded, but there are thousands of miles of coastline over there!!

Thanks for the reply. I like the look of Sri Lanka. The thing is October is really my best month to travel and I don't want to go all that way for shoulder season mess. I was In Peniche in October. I had some great waves and there is tons of peaks and no crowds. But the town was too quiet for the rest of the non surfing family. Great contect as always. Cheers. @@DanHarmon123

You could give Morocco a try. If October is the best month for you to travel Morocco has a combination of good swell and still warm water that time of the year 🤙🏾

Hey Dan, thanks for the content. I’m heading to Sri Lanka next week to surf. I have not yet booked anything but was planning to go to Arugam Bay due to it being surf season on East Coast, however the forecast for south coast is looking slightly better. Do you have any advice on whether to go for east coast or south coast based on seasonality and forecast? Cheers
