THE KIND HEART

Lucky has witnessed firsthand the many hardships faced by local communities in Sri Lanka. From the devastating 2004 tsunami to the Easter bombings, the COVID pandemic, and the recent economic crisis, it has been not always easy. Through it all, Lucky has always recognized the importance of giving back and supporting those around him.

Having once received secondhand surfboards from travelers passing through Sri Lanka, Lucky now gives back by providing surf equipment and guidance to underprivileged local youth. He also organizes food relief for families in need through the “Kind Sri Lanka” campaigns.

He regularly organizes beach cleanups to maintain his home beach in Weligama. This helps keep it clean, safe, and beautiful for both locals and tourists.
