We are looking for an adventure. Can we strap our surfboards to the roof of the public red CTB buses going from Galle to Mirissa.

No, you cannot put anything on the roof of the red CTB buses. You must bring the boards inside. If it is a shortboard and the bus is empty, the conductor might let you stand in the back holding it. If it is a longboard or rush hour, they will absolutely refuse you entry. Rent a tuk-tuk instead for boards.

We tried this. The conductor yelled at us and drove off. Take a tuk-tuk, it is only like 2000 rupees.

Private AC minivans sometimes let you tie them to the back, but the public buses definitely will not.
