The Indian Open of Surfing – Karnataka Surfing Festival

 

Welcome to the exhilarating world of the Indian Open of Surfing, a prestigious event that encapsulates the essence of adventure, camaraderie, and skill in the dynamic sport of surfing. Organized by Mantra Surf Club and supported by dedicated sponsors and surf enthusiasts, this annual extravaganza has become a cornerstone of India’s surfing culture.

Riding the Waves of Tourism

Over the years, the Indian Open of Surfing has not only stirred waves in the ocean but has also created ripples in the realm of tourism. The event, held in the picturesque coastal city of Mangalore, has significantly impacted the region’s tourism landscape. As surf enthusiasts and athletes from all corners of the country gather to showcase their talent and passion, the local community experiences an influx of visitors and a boost in economic activity. Hotels brim with guests, restaurants sizzle with flavors, and local artisans find a wider canvas to display their crafts. The event’s magnetic pull has transformed Mangalore into a thriving hub for surf culture, celebrating not only the sport but also the diverse tapestry of India’s coastal beauty.

Our Pride: Mantra Surf Club’s Perspective

As the proud hosts of the Indian Open of Surfing, Mantra Surf Club finds immense joy in curating an event that unites surfers, fans, and families under the azure sky and alongside the rolling waves. Every year, we witness the transformation of the Panambur Beach into a vibrant arena of skill, determination, and community. This event, infused with the spirit of sportsmanship and the thrill of the waves, embodies the values we hold dear at Mantra Surf Club.

A Glimpse of the 2023 Edition

The 2023 edition of the Indian Open of Surfing was a resounding success, resonating with the cheers of enthusiastic spectators and the impressive displays of skill by our extraordinary surfers. Our male and female athletes carved their path through the waves, with Kamali Moorthy’s dominating performance in both the Under 16 and Women’s Open categories shining as a testament to the growing prowess of women in Indian surfing. Kishore Kumar, equally remarkable, emerged victorious in the Men’s Open and Under 16 categories, solidifying his place as a surfing prodigy.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed sponsors whose unwavering support powered this incredible event. Novigo Solutions, CodeCraft Technologies, Semnox, Rohan Corporation, Northern Sky Properties, Jaintubes, and our power sponsor Cycle Agarbatti, your contributions were instrumental in creating an unforgettable experience for all. We also thank the passionate surf community, volunteers, and spectators who made this event a true celebration of unity, skill, and surf.

In the spirit of camaraderie, adventure, and surfing, we look forward to welcoming you to the next edition of the Indian Open of Surfing, where the waves will be high, the excitement higher, and the memories unforgettable.
