Embark on a Spiritual Surfing Journey with Mantra Surf Club: Shaping India’s Surfing Frontier

Welcome to the luminous world of Mantra Surf Club, where waves become a canvas for spiritual expression and the art of surfing intertwines with the ancient wisdom of India. Established as India’s pioneering surf club in 2004, we have ignited the passion for riding waves, introducing the thrill of surfing to our shores and welcoming the global surfing community to our tranquil haven.

Originating from the sun-kissed shores of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, USA, founders Jack Hebner and Rick Perry bring with them a legacy of surfing that traces back to 1963. As torchbearers of East Coast surf pioneers, they ventured beyond borders to kindle the flame of surfing in the heart of India. The result is a convergence of surf, spirituality, and health, fostering not only skilled surfers but also enriched souls.

Surfing is more than just a sport—it’s a sacred connection between body, mind, and the rhythmic pulse of the ocean. As the sun rises over the azure waters, the act of riding waves becomes a profound spiritual experience. Just as yoga and spiritual enlightenment have been integral to India’s heritage, so too does surfing symbolize an immersion into the depths of the cosmic ocean of consciousness. Each wave mirrors the journey of enlightenment, cresting higher until we merge with the ultimate truth.

Our journey began humbly, with just a handful of determined Indian surfers. We ushered in a new era, transforming the Indian coastline into a surf haven. Today, our beloved Mantra Surf Club echoes with the laughter of many, embodying the essence of surfing and spirituality. With over a billion souls in India, we nurtured a mere twelve surfers at our inception, six of whom now form the backbone of our club. This thriving community has rippled across both coasts, making surfing a cherished pursuit that transcends borders and cultures.

Nestled along the tranquil Shambhavi River, our remote beach becomes a canvas for dreams to unfold. As the sun bids adieu to the day, local children engage in spirited stand-up paddling and swimming, painting a picturesque evening against the canvas of the horizon. Mantra Surf Club isn’t just a place—it’s a vibrant tapestry where passion meets purpose, where souls seeking the thrill of the waves converge to embark on a transformative journey.

We invite you to ride the tides of change with us. Immerse yourself in the rejuvenating waves, explore the depths of yoga and spirituality, and become a part of our tribe. At Mantra Surf Club, surfing isn’t just a hobby; it’s a philosophy that transforms us into better individuals. Our mission is to shape India’s surfing future, create a thriving community, and nurture sustainable surfers who ride waves with reverence and harmony.

Join us as we ride waves, awaken spirits, and foster a healthier, more connected world through the art of surfing. The journey awaits, and we welcome you with open arms and salt-kissed smiles.
