Surfing The Nations first went to Sri Lanka in search of waves in 1998. A world-class point break was found, only surfed by a handful of local surfers. Immediately after the devastating tsunami of 2004, one of these surfers called STN asking for help. Joining the relief effort connected STN to the families and surfers whose lives were changed forever. Today, that connection runs strong. We still send annual trips of volunteers filled with surfing, adventure, community development and "surfers giving back." We've also launched a family into full-time service and seen them thrive as they love on the community of Arugam Bay.
