Mornings in Mirissa

Meet Thilli Mauranga. One of the best surfers we've seen, this guy lives for waves. We've had the pleasure of living with him as our roommate and friend. When he's not running ship at the cafe at Ceylon Sliders, he's always in the water. He got a brand new yellow, Bing Concave Keel for Christmas and he's been putting it to good use. Thilli is a man that knows everyone, so we had him take some pictures in Gitano's shirts before eagerly jumping in the water. 

The morning was pretty epic - Sri Lanka put on a natural haze effect distributing the light in a soft glow. The backdrop in Mirissa is also pretty stunning, making for some photos to remember what it feels like to wake up and surf in Sri Lanka.
