The So Sri Lanka Pro 2019 was a surfing competition which was held as a part of the World Surfing League Qualifying Series 3000.[1][2] This was the second edition of the Sri Lanka Pro League and it was also the first such event to be conducted since 2011 after 8 years.[3] It was held from 25 September to 29 September in Arugam Bay coinciding the World Tourism Day on 27 September.[4][5] The event featured 124 competitors from 24 nations including the retired former world champion Mark Occhilupo.[6] The event was titled as So Sri Lanka which is also used as a slogan to promote tourism industry in Sri Lanka by the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau from 2018. Sri Lankan Airlines is the official airline partner for the series.

So Sri Lanka Pro 2019 was hosted as a means of developing and promoting the tourism sector in Sri Lanka which was notably affected following the 2019 Easter attacks. The ground arrangements were prepared by Lanka Sportreizen and the event was officially launched on 4 September 2019.[7] It was organized by Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau, Sri Lanka Surfing Federation in affiliation with World Surf League. Australia's Julian Wilson is the defending champion who won the tournament in 2011.

Australia's Mitch Parkinson won the tournament defeating Oney Anwar of Indonesia by scoring a whopping 19.17 with a lead of six points against his opponent in the final.[8][9] The final was also the first matchup between these two in a WSL event and also marked Parkinson's first WSL career title victory.
