India has no waves.

Amarthejas - years surfing...1.5

Thank you, Holly Bracy, for the pics and time endured on the hot sand.

If you hang around India enough, you'll get it good.

Flat Ocean Alternative

Back in India

My last session in North Carolina had some really good waves.  However the air temp was 26 F (minus 3 C), the water was 44 F (7 C), and I was wearing a 5-year-old, porous 4/3.  I surfed some little waves here in India, yesterday.  The air temp jumped up 60 degrees from my last session, and the water went up about 40 into the 80s.  I've never done consecutive sessions anywhere close to that.  I love the whole cold water thing and even missed it my 3 winters away, but I'll admit that the tropical water feels pretty nice.

Some Pre-Monsoon Kovalam

Kovalam often shines best when conditions deteriorate.  The cross-swell and onshores that ruin everywhere else tend to do it well here.  One more week or so until Monsoon.  Then, it will pretty much be over until late August. 

 

Obstacle Coarse

Sometimes surfing is just too easy.  If you find that to be the case, just add a heinous rip current, an ankle-deep end section, and some fishing nets.  Then, your head high peaks will offer all the challenge you need.
