On a recent trip to Sri Lanka, the Blueline / Paddle Surf Hawaii team explored the SUP scene and native waves and rivers that encompass the 'Pearl of the Orient' off the southeastern tip of India.

Featuring Jim Brewer, Genelle Ives and Matt Becker, and filmed and edited by Peter Trow, the crew managed to find great beach breaks, mellow river paddles, and even held an impromptu lesson for dozens of curious locals who have yet to see or paddle a SUP setup.

The film, title still pending, will be debuted sometime during winter 2011. For more about the team and SUP gear, visit BluelinePaddleSurf.com and PaddleSurfHawaii.com.

To Jim, Genelle, Matt and Peter, just want to say how greatful I'm to all of you for having travelled half way across the globe to come to our tiny Emerald Island and do this refreshing film and photography of beautiful Sri Lanka! Its people like you that also play an important part in showcasing the human and happy side to countries like ours...Thank you ever so much for your altruistic work to life and its people. Would love to be of any help if ever you need it being a keen photographer myself. With my sincere regards, Ricky

As a Sri Lankan American I am thrilled to see this and thank you very much for your beautiful work. However, is there anyway you could do this with all Sri Lankan music instead of Indian music? Sri Lankan music is so unique to the island will definitely increase the value of your work.
