Drinking Companions

As I'm a poor swimmer it took me a year of being in Sri Lanka before I started surfing and that was only because this guy Gamini convinced me I wasn't going to drown. He got me started and taught me the basics and now I rent surfboards off him. He's a bit camera shy.

My mate Archie was over for a couple of weeks working and he managed to make it down to Hikkaduwa with his friend Vicky for a couple of weekends. He on the other hand is not camera shy.
