Airline surfboard baggage rules apply (typically extra fee 100-250 USD each way to Sri Lanka). At CMB customs: surfboard for personal use is duty-free entry — no issues expected. Declare it at green channel if unsure. Keep the airline surfboard fee receipt as proof of personal ownership.

Reality: customs rarely questions surfboards for tourists. Take photos of your boards before flight (proof they're yours if any question). Do not attempt to sell your board in Sri Lanka mid-trip — potential import-duty complications.
