Catching the waves at Manapad

Chennai | Tuesday | 16th February, 2016

Summary:

Manapad is unique, as it has a point break, where the waves are big and rough, and lagoons, where the waves are small and calm,” he says. Through Manapad Surf Resort, Arun Miranda gets surfers from Covelong Point Social Surf School to teach the local fishermen the art of surfing. The sun, the sea, the sand and the surfers made for a scintillating show at the Manapad Sail and Surf Festival. An orange flag reading ‘Manapad Classic’ is planted in the sand, and a whistle goes off, sending the birds away. Soon after, three crescents of kites soar above the sea, adding a hint of colour to the Manapad sky..
