Ok, dont mistake it for Parripu (Dhal). Arripu is found north of Puttalam. Its known for the Doric - the mansion of the first British Governor of Ceylon. There is also a very old Dutch Fort 1 KM north of the Doric. Sadly this historical monument is falling prey to neglect. Hopefully this kiting trip would give impetus to lobby for a restoration/ protection of this part of history. For more information click HERE.

I see you made it to Arripu. A little more background on the ruins at this site http://trips.lakdasun.org/trip-to-mannar-and-talei-mannar.htm.
One of these days I should take some kitesurf lessons. Last did some lessons in 2004 and never followed up. Intermediate Windsurfer, tho not windsurfed for about 3 years because all my sails have decayed after being left in the sun,
