sea the magic

While exploring the seaside, there’s a lovely place to visit…

Came face to face with different friends along the way…

Meowwelcome…

…wwwhatever… back to my nap now…

Lovely water side…

No hurry here…

The Mantra Surf Club, at Mulki, near Udupi (western Karnataka, India coast).

Their site says…

This lesson is designed more for the experience rather than learning. The instructor will demonstrate how to lie down on the board, paddle, and how to stand up. From then on, you will be taken into the ocean and the instructor will help catch some small, safe, white water waves.

A brief video summary…

It feels quite incredible feeling the strong breeze or the currents of the water, the gentle or powerful sound of the waves, and actually being out there.
