I read a newspaper article recently about the growing trend of Surfing and surfers in Chennai beaches. I was surprised and also excited that Indian east coast has finally caught up with this "wave" sport. Looks to me they have home made surf boards and also our own local surf instructors, pretty amazing eh?

I think it will slowly catch on with the Indian population who as of now spend their time making their feet wet when they visit the beach. I think it does cost less, equipment wise (just a surf board!) and it has got more to do self learning after getting to know the basics. May be if i get a chance i would like to try my hand on this.
