Pipinya – ‘pipinya’ is our word for ‘cucumber’. And since ‘pickle’ usually refers to ‘pickled cucumber’, it seemed like a great name for a pickleball brand, born in Sri Lanka. At first we set up a make-shift court, just for us. And we all began playing. We played & we played & we played. We played in the sun, under the moon, through monsoons & lightning storms. With shoes, with broken soles, flipflops & bare feet. We were suddenly kids again. Grown kids. We loved it. And so, we started building our first outdoor court – affectionately named ‘Pickler’s Cage’. Of course, we had our doubts & fears as to whether this would amount to anything more than just a bit of fun. Until we realised, this is now our business – ‘fun’. And that’s what we want to bring to every beginner who picks up a paddle – fun – pure, silly, can’t-stop, quirky-fierce-fun. We are Pipinya. And we are proud to bring Pickleball to our home – Colombo, Sri Lanka
