Surf etiquette and localism at Hiriketiya left point break

Hiriketiya is a tiny bay, and the left point is heavily localized by the instructors who live there. Do not paddle straight to the peak. Sit on the shoulder, smile, and let the locals take the set waves. If you show respect and wait your turn, they will eventually call you into a wave. Never drop in on anyone here; the reef is shallow and collisions are dangerous.
