If you are on holiday in the tropical isle of Sri Lanka and you are in the mood for an adventure sport, why not try wakeboarding in the scenic beaches of Negombo? The town of Negombo is located about 10 kilometers from the main airport, the Bandaranayke International Airport. Negombo is famous as a tourist hotspot as it is a scenic fishing village along with a harbor and beaches that stretch along the coastline for about 3 kilometers. The Negombo beaches are a hotbed of activity for tourists and locals alike as there are many seaside restaurants offering delicious seafood from freshly caught produce and ayurvedic centers providing centuries-old treatments native to Sri Lanka.

The art of wakeboarding involves riding a wakeboard over a body of water where the rider is usually tied to a motorboat. The speed at which the rider rides the waves depends on a number of things such as the weight of the rider and water conditions. In recent years, the trend towards adventure water sports has risen and there are numerous wakeboarding camps available. Some of the companies offering wakeboarding camps and lessons include the Negambo Surfing School who has experienced surfers with over 10 years of experience and the Discover a Dream Spot which offer personalized lessons. Enthusiasts can also take part in the numerous water ski camps organized with professional coaches, whether you are an expert or a beginner. Some of the initial lessons take place in a nearby freshwater lagoon and equipment such as boards and bindings are provided. The season from November to April is especially great for water sports and sea swims as the water is gentle during these non-monsoon periods.

A great way to experience an adrenaline rush in this emerald isle is the water sport of wakeboarding. Travelers could stay at various Sri Lanka hotels such as the Jetwing Beach which offers its guests a luxurious stay. One of the best Negombo hotels in the region, its accommodation options include a choice of deluxe rooms and suites. Pamper yourself with a reviving Jacuzzi soak, watch the falling of a cool rain shower or enjoy a cup of authentic Ceylon tea whilst taking in the picturesque views of the scenic Negombo beaches from a traditionally crafted teak armchair.
