Mantra Surf Club is... truly magical place. We've tried our hand at s casual surfing at a few other places. We signed up for a 3 day course and we loved it. The instructors, the place, the beach, the backwaters, everything! We were able to ride reasonably well at the end of it. Even if you don't want to surf, we strongly recommend visiting this place for a kayak ride on the backwater and a walk on this almost-private beach. The beach is like a small island and the only way to get there is by boat/kayak. As a bonus, we got to camp overnight on the beach on new year's night! What a way to welcome the new year...read more

This was my first... volunteer experience of my life it was above my imagination. I Volunteer here for 1 months and everything here is best whether it is delicious meals (specially juice after surf lessons), the instructor (specially Shyam and Jay), the other members and also co-volunteer. You will can't find such place in any part of country. Your day start with surf lesson (specially on first few days you will surfed by the waves as it happens with me and it's the best part of learning) then brunch-some rest- then SUP/Kayaking/Cycling and the day end with beautiful sunset (the best part of day). I met some crazy peoples and learned much from their experiences and make some lifelong friends. I will always be thankful to Club for giving the opportunity to be part of their family and will be coming back soon.read more

I stayed here for 6... days, it was my best birthday holiday, the volunteers here are very friendly always there to help you. The location is great, serene beach, best surfing school in India. Special mention the food here is the best, healthy pure vegetarian, it was totally worth it. I going back to this place for sure. Away from city, so close to nature, good vibes only all the time. The surf instructors are great I could catch the wave on my first itself. They have a nice surf wear collection at the ashram.read more

These guys are... simply amazing. From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The team really puts effort in making you have a nice experience with kayakking/SUPping (sunset!) on the beautiful backwaters/and in the morning wavesurfing on nice clean waves. The best thing is that it is a non profit organization and that children from thr neighborhood will come for a free meal! Unfortunately we had only one night because of heading to the next destination otherwise we would have extended our stay. We wish the team all the luck!read more

I volunteered at... Mantra Surf Club for 7 months and the experience I've had here has been an overwhelming one. I have found a home & found friends for life among the people here. From the morning Surfing routines to Healthy Brunch & juices, from the afternoon naps to the evening Cycling, Kayaking & SUP sessions, there is always a cheerful and positive vibe around. The guests I've met have been some of the most interesting people & the fellow staff here have taught me a lot! I've learnt a lot of Outdoor & Life skills and being located on the scenic backwaters of river Shambhavi, I have come to love the Ocean as my own. I also explored the genre of Ocean/Water Photography and worked towards spreading Ocean awareness among the people of India through Beach clean-ups and environment protection campaigns. I will forever be grateful for being connected to this place & the people here. Looking forward to teaching Surfing to the masses of India & to having more epic adventures. Yeww :)read more

I’ve been to... Mantra in the last days of 2018 to learn surfing. The folks at Mantra are dedicated in making sure you learn something each day before you leave. Everyone I met were very welcoming and always had a pleasant smile on their faces. They will not let you give up and will motivate you to push harder. They were more happier than myself when I was able to do my first succeful pop up on the board. But there are lot of other activities apart from surfing that you can learn from these guys. Need not say much about how beautifully this ashram is located. They also have their private beach where you’ll be taught to surf. I can’t wait to go back there to spend more time.read more

Phenomenal... experience. A bag full of memories that will make me come back to this place many times. This was my family's best beach vacation ever. Staying with the Ashram boys, simple and enriching lifestyle, kayaking through the backwaters to reach the beach, mantra beach (exclusive as there is no approach via road), fresh fruits plucked from trees, sounds of nature...I can go on and on but no words or image will do justice and describe the actual experience. One just has to be here to know it. I am coming back for sure.read more

An awesome school... to learn surfing. The location is just amazing. They have like a private beach. It's a complete rejuvenation of mind, body and soul. The team is amazing. The food is sattvik type and very delicious. But location is the best thing about this club. It's also easily connected to major cities and towns. So go try surfing, kayaking and sup.read more

I went to the Surf... Ashram in late December not really knowing what I would expect. My first impression was the Ashram itself. It's located next to a BEAUTIFUL lake. The lake itself is a quite a sight. Migratory birds and glow in the dark water ( yes, I mean it) is the perfect scenic accessory to the Ashram. Then comes the best part, the beach. This gorgeous virgin beach is located opposite the lake. As it is a private beach, you could not ask for a better place to learn how to surf. Learning how to surf was probably the most exhilarating experience I've had. The waves in December are perfect for beginners.The instructors at the Ashram are patient, extremely friendly and give every student lots of individual attention. Anyone who visits the Ashram feels very much at home , the residents of the Ashram truly treat you like family. After long rigorous surf sessions, the Ashram provides students with tasty, healthy food and drinks. Considering how tired students are, it tastes better than any michelin star hotel. I met some amazing people at the Ashram and I am really looking forward to going there again. Probably one of my best Christmases ever!read more
