Where are the International Surfers ?

If we are trying to make Arugam bay a world class surfing area. Then we need to clean the beaches and get rid of all the shanties and dirt on the beaches otherwise it would die a natural death. Just compare our beaches with other great surfing areas of Hawaii, South Africa, South Australia etc. we feel far short of these in cleanliness.
