Lakshitha Madushan bagged the top spot amongst local competitors at the Sri Lanka Pro World Surf League Qualifying Series 3000, held in Arugam Bay last weekend.
Madushan, hailing from Weligama, Matara, surfed to the top spot with 6.00 points, fending off stiff competition from Anura Hennanthike Sril Pranith who had 5.77 points and Praneeth Sandaruwan with 3.70 points.
In the international competition, Australia’s Mitch Parkinson put on an outstanding performance to win the 2019 Sri Lanka Pro World Surf League Qualifying Series 3000 event in clean four-to-five foot surf at the picturesque Arugam Bay.
In the biggest win of his career, Parkinson dominated every heat he surfed in with an amazing display of aerial surfing. Oney Anwer, a surfer from Indonesia, chasing a two-wave combination, emerged a runner-up at the event.
Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider Dialog Axiata was the telecommunication partner for the Pro World Surf League Qualifying Series 3000.
