One of my close friends, Sharmely, is now surfing with me. I was so amped that the girls surf contest got her itching to surf again. She had tried it before in the past, and with her brother being the #1 National surfer, I knew she had it in her. She loves it! We've been going together as much as time allows and I am so happy for her to get out of the monotony of a Sri Lankan woman's daily life which consists of cleaning, washing clothes, cooking and more cleaning. There's not a whole lot of fun activity for the women, so I'm stoked for her to have some. Its so fun to have a girl to paddle out with me and I look forward to every time we get to surf together. Her sister Inoka has also now picked up the interest and is starting to come out. My next door neighbor Anu is also becoming interested. If I can get these girls really surfing, they can actually become Sri Lanka's first girl surfers. When (or I should say if- its never a definite) the ASP girls contest comes back, there's usually a wild card. I told the girls that we have to get them practiced up :) The one rule about the girls surfing, is that their brother Asanka told them that they could only surf with me. I love it! Its great time for me with my OIKOS girls.
