Started off from... Bangalore to Mantra surf club thinking that it would be a trip with friends and a new skill to learn but it turned out to be lot more than that. Met interesting people and made new friends. The place is built with passionate trainers and super enthusiastic crew members. Beyond that, it’s a magical place where a sport can be seen as a means to get spiritual and serve purpose to local communities. It’s a surreal experience when u ride one wave after falling hundreds. Camp night at private beach under the full moon is nothing like I have experienced before. Get ready to pushing the limits of ur physical strength n if you are done n dusted, then a beautiful spa experience. Totally Worth it. Cheers.read more

Absolutely loved... the experience. The entire crew is passionate about surfing and they made sure that is passed on during the sessions. The other activities like kayaking and stand up paddling in the back waters during the sunset are memorable experiences. Added bonus is that the club is conscious towards the environment and it reflects in how they use the beach. Looking forward to go back soon.read more

Lovely place and an... amazing experience to cherish. Felt so close to the waters at the Mantra surfing club and never thought surfing is this easily accessible in India, thanks to the foundation and the ever energetic team members. Had a wonderful time surfing, kayaking, paddling and not to forget swimming in the backwater and the private beach. Thanks to the crew members for making it such a calm and cool experience.read more

I stayed at Mantra... surf club for 9 days and took the 7 day surf lessons course. To have a facility like theirs and the extremely skilled and patient instructors right here in Namma Karnataka is such a blessing. Situated in the pristine western ghats, right on the banks of Shambhavi river makes this ashram (Yes, it's an ashram and not a general resort; such a delight) so full of positive vibes. As if not enough, all the coaches and inmates are extremely hospitable and warm people. I forgot that they were strangers to me at any point of time. Neat and well maintained property, gives a worship/ spiritual environment. The amount of involvement and dedication shown by the coaches (Jayraj & Sham) during the surf lessons was truly amazing. You can feel their passion towards the sport in every session. There are local kids all of 17 years and younger who are being mentored here to no less than perfection, that they also pass up as assistant coaches😀 (Selva, Praveen and Subbu to mention a few). Watch out for them; watching them on the waves is a learning in itself. Not surprising at all, they are International Surfing Association accredited surfers. Not only do they teach and make sure you progress day by day, they have such a beautiful feedback loop albeit being informal that there is no way that you can escape getting pulled into taking the sport to heart. What more, they have a truly private beach to teach ... Yes they are that serious and passionate. Wait, that's not it. They CLEAN and MAINTAIN their own beach. Like seriously, who goes this length. The surf lessons are conducted in the morning in the most professional way akin to only professional sports (think National cricket team coaching). A proper warm up session, briefing and debriefing of safety measures and theoritical nuances, surf stance practice on land are conducted in the most sincere way before you are 'allowed' to hit the waters. And all of these are preceded by right nutrition in form of a sumptuous dose of fruits. Post session get ready to treat your taste buds and obviously increased appetite with the most delicious sattvik food that you have probably ever tasted. Rest up, laze around, read a book or work if you must (wifi is pretty seamless, my WFH schedule went pretty smooth). The view of the river and the breezy coconut trees gives one the ultimate peaceful environment. The sunset is no less than dramatic. Enjoy the sunset right from the beach or go kayaking or stand-up paddling in the river. That's meditation right there. The calm is unfathomable. End of day is no less thoughtful. The variety of salads and juices on the table do make for the best recovery you need before you hit the comfortable neat bed and give your body the most needed goodnight's rest before you rough it out again in the ocean next morning. Watch out though! This place and its charm & calm can be quite addictive. Hit me up if you didn't tear up while leaving the place. My bags were really heavy when I started my return journey from Mantra Surf club (a.k.a home) with the enormous amount of memories, emotions, warmth that I carried back from the ashram. Peace!read more

So 6 of us from... Bangalore drove down to Mangalore this last weekend. We were looking up stuff to do there and Mantra popped up. We decided to go surfing since none of us had tried it before. I must say that the experience was just fabulous. Beyond my expectations. First of all the sheer fun of surfing and add to that the professionalism, preparation, applicability and extremely friendly attitude of the instructors, made the experience unforgettable! We had initially planned to go surfing only Saturday morning but we ended up having so much fun that we went surfing on Sunday as well. A HUGE shout out to Mantra and all their staff. This is a MUST DO activity with them, whenever you visit Mangalore.read more

Mantra surf club... was so much fun!!! And I'm definitely going again. I met some amazing people here who truly celebrated surfing and life. The entire experience was so rewarding for me and I spent so much time in the water that my body aches and my face got sunburned but I just kept going again and again to catch the next wave. For someone who's seen surfing in English movies and thought it was not something I would ever, it was truly a crazy experience. The food they serve is healthy and very tasty. And I kept going back for multiple sservings. You can also do Kayaking, stand up paddle. And the highlight of the trip for me was the Bioluminescence I saw there. One has to really see it to see the magnificent neon blue water! Pro tip- carry the right sunscreen or you can even purchase it thereread more

Mantra Surf Club -... The place that made me discover and fall in love with the surf culture in India. If you want to give surfing a shot whether as a bucket list item or as something that you want to put more effort into and get good at, Mantra surf club is the place to do it. Located on the banks of River Shambhavi, the surf lessons are held at a private beach that is 5 minutes away. The boat ride to the beach from the Ashram defintely amps up your excitement leading up to the surf lessons. The coaches are extremely friendly and competent and know how to guage your fitness and tailor your lessons from the selection of the board to the level of intensity of the feedback during the lessons. The Ashram also provides the most delicious Satvik food, twice a day that tastes incredible especially after the surf sessions. My go to spot for surfing!read more

I Went to this... place to learn surfing as a beginner in Feb 2020. My expectations of the place was to just learn basics of surfing and try my hands at it. However, the place exceeded my expectations and had much more to offer than just surfing. The coach and team are just phenomenal when it comes to teaching how to surf. Their ability to break down surfing strategically into paddling, popping up and balancing is just inpeccable and makes you learn very fast. Apart from surfing, they will make you feel homely and will feed you as if it is your own home. The trainers are super friendly and helpful. They also offer Kayaking and Standup paddle which is equally fun. They also took us to witness bio luminous micro-organisms in night which was purely magical. Evening cricket games with everyone was a great addition to the whole experience. Already planning when to visit the place next.read more

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

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
