Freedom in the Waves: Why I Fell in Love with Surfing in Goa?
Tumblr media
The Allure of Surfing in Goa
Goa, a tiny state on the southwestern coast of India, is renowned for its vibrant culture, stunning beaches, and lively nightlife. Yet, beyond the tourist hotspots and bustling streets lies a hidden gem that has captivated the hearts of many: surfing. In this article, I will delve into my personal journey and share why I fell head over heels in love with Beach surfing in Goa.
The Call of the Ocean: Surfing In Goa
It all began with the hypnotic call of the ocean. The gentle sound of waves crashing on the shore, the cool breeze carrying the scent of saltwater, and the endless expanse of azure blue waters beckoned me to explore what lay beyond the shore. I decided to answer this call by trying my hand at surfing, a decision that would change my life forever.
The Freedom of the Waves: Goa Surfing
Surfing, to me, is synonymous with freedom. The moment you paddle out into the open sea, you leave behind the worries and stresses of everyday life. As you ride the waves, you become one with the ocean, feeling the immense power and tranquillity it offers simultaneously. There’s an indescribable joy in the act of catching a wave, the feeling of being propelled by nature’s force.
My Surfing in Goa Experience
What makes Goa an ideal place to fall in love with surfing is its diverse range of surf spots. From the popular beaches of Palolem and Ashwem to the lesser-known gems like Galgibaga and Kakolem, Goa offers waves suitable for both beginners and experienced surfers. The laid-back atmosphere of the Goa surf community is welcoming, making it an excellent place to start your surfing journey.
Challenges and Growth
While the idea of riding waves may seem exhilarating, surfing is not without its challenges. Learning to read the waves, mastering the art of balance, and building the physical stamina to paddle out and catch waves can be daunting. However, these challenges are what make surfing a deeply rewarding experience. The process of overcoming obstacles and seeing your progress is incredibly satisfying.
Exploring More About the Surfing In Goa Scene
Surfing Schools: There are some of the Best Surfing schools in Goa and surf instructors who offer lessons for all skill levels. These schools provide surfboards and equipment and teach you the fundamentals of surfing, making it accessible to newcomers. As I already had booked a package with Universal Adventures they provided me with a surfing instructor as well.
Surfing Events: Goa hosts various types of surfing events and competitions, attracting surfers from around the world. These events are not only great for witnessing top-notch surfers but also for engaging with the vibrant surf community.
Equipment Rental: If you’re not ready to invest in your gear, you can easily rent surfboards and wetsuits from surf shops and schools along the Goan coastline. The rental equipment usually doesn’t cost much, it’s just you need to be good at bargaining as the costs can vary.
Best Time to Surf: The peak surfing season in Goa is during the monsoon months, from June to September when the Arabian Sea provides consistent swells. However, it’s important to note that the monsoon season can bring heavy rainfall and rough seas, so be cautious.
Surfing Culture: Goa’s surfing culture is laid-back and welcoming. You’ll find a mix of both local and international surfers who share a passion for the sport. The atmosphere is friendly and encourages a sense of community among surfers.
Safety: While surfing is thrilling, it’s essential to prioritise safety. Always listen to local surf instructors and be aware of ocean conditions, including tides and currents. Wearing a leash and appropriate safety gear is crucial. For this, the instructor guided me very well in advance.
Kite Surfing: Other than beach surfing, Goa also offers ample opportunities for kite surfing in Goa and windsurfing. The strong coastal winds and wide open spaces along the coastline make it an ideal destination for these exhilarating water sports.
Accommodation: Goa offers a wide range of accommodations, from budget-friendly hostels to luxurious beachfront resorts. Many surfers choose to stay close to their preferred surf spots for convenience and so, I choose a hotel that was near for me. Booking a package of surfing in Goa via Universal Adventures made it easier for me and made my adventure trip a happy one.
Surfing in Goa: A Journey of Freedom, Beauty, and Personal Growth
Amid the vibrant and chaotic landscape of Goa, I discovered a haven of serenity and adventure in surfing. The freedom I found in the waves, the beauty of the Goan coastline, the sense of belonging within the surf community, and the personal growth that comes with it all have made my love affair with surfing in Goa an unforgettable journey. If you’re seeking a taste of freedom and a connection with the ocean, there’s no better place than Goa to fall in love with the art of riding the waves.

Get ready for a highfy with the mighty sea waves, and dances as per the wave tunes.
The sun-kissed beaches of Goa have long been a haven for travellers seeking relaxation, adventure, and a taste of the vibrant coastal culture. Amidst the swaying palms and the rhythmic crash of the waves, a new form of bliss awaits those who dare to embrace the art of surfing. 
Whether you're a seasoned water enthusiast or a complete novice, Goa's playful waves offer the perfect canvas to learn and master the exhilarating sport of surfing in Goa.
Riding the Waves of Curiosity with Surfing in Goa
For many, the idea of surfing conjures images of skilled athletes gliding effortlessly across towering waves. While that level of expertise is indeed awe-inspiring, the journey begins with curiosity and the willingness to learn. Surfing schools in Goa provide a nurturing environment where beginners can embrace this curiosity and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Choosing the Right Spot
Goa boasts several surfing hotspots catering to different skill levels, but for beginners, the gentle and consistent waves of Palolem, Ashwem, and Morjim are ideal. These beaches offer a safe and controlled environment to practice the basics without the intimidating force of larger waves. The warm tropical waters of the Arabian Sea beside your Palolem beach stay Goa add to the inviting ambience, making your initial encounters with the surf both enjoyable and encouraging.
Choose the correct learning process
Surfing is a skill that requires proper technique, balance, and understanding of the ocean's dynamics. Enrolling in a reputable surf school is a crucial step for beginners, as experienced instructors can guide you through the fundamentals in a structured and safe manner. From learning to paddle and catch small waves to finding your balance on the board, their expertise ensures a seamless learning process.
The Dance of Balance
As you venture into the ocean on your surfboard, you'll quickly realize that the art of surfing is, at its core, a dance of balance. The playful waves serve as your partners, inviting you to find harmony between your body and the board. Your first attempts might be met with wobbles and tumbles, but each fall is a lesson in perseverance. Over time, your body learns to adjust, your muscles remember the movements and your confidence grows.
Learning from Nature
One of the most enchanting aspects of surfing Goa is the intimate connection with nature. As you paddle out and wait for the perfect wave, you become attuned to the rhythm of the ocean. You'll notice how the waves form, peak, and break, each one unique in its temperament. This heightened awareness not only aids your surfing but also fosters a deep appreciation for the beauty and power of the sea.
A Humbling Experience
Surfing is a humbling experience that teaches respect for both nature and oneself. The ocean's vastness reminds us of our place in the world, and the waves have a way of humbling even the most confident beginners. Yet, it's in those humbling moments that growth occurs. With each ride, whether short or long, you'll experience a surge of accomplishment that makes all the effort worthwhile.
Beyond the Waves
While the thrill of riding waves is undoubtedly the highlight, surfing in Goa offers more than just a physical experience. It's a chance to immerse yourself in the local surf culture, connect with fellow surfers, and create lasting memories. 
The post-surf chai sessions shared tales of triumphs and wipeouts, and the sheer joy of conquering a new skill contributed to a holistic adventure that extends far beyond the shoreline. And the major highlights would be the nightlife Palolem beach goa.
A Journey, Not a Destination
As you progress from a tentative beginner to a more confident surfer, you'll come to realize that surfing is not just a sport; it's a lifelong journey. Each wave you catch is a new opportunity to learn, refine your technique, and deepen your connection with the ocean. With time, you might even find yourself sharing your passion with others, guiding them as they take their first steps into the playful waves of Goa.
In the end, the art of surfing in Goa encapsulates the essence of exploration, growth, and finding joy in the process. So, whether you're a traveller seeking a new adventure or a local looking to embrace the beauty of your own backyard, the playful waves of Goa are waiting to teach you a beginner's bliss that transcends the waves themselves.

In a similar fashion to Calangute beach in #goa #india and Kuta on the island of #bali #indonesia , a #beach just south of the village became famous in the late 1960s as a destination for young people to base themselves while exploring southern Morocco. On occasion, several hundred would reside in tents, makeshift buildings, and camper vans. However, the camp has been banned and instead replaced with fully equipped hotels and resorts for tourists. #yoga #surf #retreat #morocco 🇲🇦 #taghazout (à Hyatt Place Taghazout Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuLo5XLzLp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The loved & the forgotten pt14
Part 13 here
———
Taliesin: *walking beside Kaidan, holding his hand as they lead the group on foot* the airs surprisingly clear out today! I never thought I’d be happy to see the bulwark of raven rock again.
Kaidan: Aye, im looking forward to a proper bed and a rematch.
Sero: Will you be able to actually keep it down this time~ or will you be making my poor darling Geldis clean up after your mess again.
Kaidan: Oh aye. I’m coming prepared this time. I’ll be going at it with a full stomach and no mixed drinks~
Miraak: am I missing something here?
Inigo: my friend gave himself alcohol poisoning with sujamma.
Miraak: I see. *looks up* And this is the company you keep then, dragonborn.
Vivienne: *discovered he can surf on muatra, now gliding back and forth over the group* oh yes, life’s more fun with them I think. *hooks his legs over the spear and hangs upside down off it* wait until I tell you about Kaidan and the goa-Woaaah! *suddenly gets yoinked down and into Kaidans arms*
Kaidan: shhh, keep your pretty mouth shut you.
Vivienne: *giggles and grabs muatra before wrapping it up as they approach the settlement* oh who has my mask?
Taliesin: I do. *hands it to him* Dibellas mercy look at this place! It was a ghost town when we left!
Kaidan: *nods* aye, looks like things picked up fast with the mines reopening.
Vivienne: *looking visibly uncomfortable seeing a ship with the sigil of house indoril branded on its sails* let’s just… keep a low profile then we head for dumzbathar in the morning. *fixes his mask and walks ahead of the group towards the netch, only to freeze as he’s suddenly surrounded by temple guards, all of them appearing out of thin air and lashing at him with whip like ropes tangling him up long enough for them to swiftly knock him to the ground and restrain him*
Kaidan: OI WHOT THE FOCK DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING?! *reaches for his blade as the guards not holding Vivi turn their weapons to the group*
Guards: Step aside or be arrested for aiding a heretic god to the temple!
Taliesin: I- a heretic- No you’ve got it wrong he’s not a god!
Captain Veleth: *approaches with his men, surrounding the temple guards as a crowd begins to form to see what’s going on* What’s the meaning of this?! Unhand the boy!
Galdrus Hlervu: *suddenly steps into view smirking* With all due respect captain Veleth this is a matter concerning the temple and the safety of the people of raven rock. And this, boy, as you call him has fooled all of you in some poor attempt to regain all the influence he’s lost over the last few hundred years. Isn’t that right? Vivec?…
Vivienne: *looks up, visibly trembling believing now to be his final hour alive, his whole life having been warned to stay away from the temple, only for it to come find him instead* I am not vivec… my name is vivienne…
Galdrus Hlervu: *rolls his eyes* Tsk, ever the liar as always. Strip him.
The guards: *suddenly begin tearing at his robes*
Team dragonborn: *lunge forward with captain Veleth to stop them only for the guards to force them back*
Kaidan: YOU GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HIM BEFORE I CUT THEM O-
Everyone: *falls silent as Vivienne’s mask and hood is ripped from his face, revealing his gold and blue skin to all. His red and blue eyes met with an audible gasp from the crowd surrounding him*
Vivienne: *smiles tearfully, looking at the crowd before him* I never deceived you… I only look like him… he made me but I am not him… I know you have no reason to believe my words, or trust that I mean no harm or I’ll intent… all I ever wanted was to help.
Galdrus Hlervu: More lies from the cut tongue of a false god. Guards, take him to the temple.
Captain Veleth: *steps forward* Halt it right there! This is an unlawful arrest! The temple must answer to the council first before-
Galdrus Hlervu: Then bring it up to the temple yourself captain, unlike you I clearly value the safety of our people over your stubborn pride for your authority. *huffs and turns walking back to the temple, the guards pushing Vivienne along as he looks back at team dragonborn with heartbreak in his eyes*
Vivienne: *looking at Kaidan & Taliesin as he’s dragged away* m-my loves… don’t cry for me… please… *looks up the temple stairs as he’s lead to the doors and forced inside*
Captain Veleth: … *looks to team dragonborn* You lot! With me! *marches to the front of the crowd* Please! To anyone who has been helped or touched by the kindness of the dragonborn! Speak up!! Let the councillor hear your voices!!! *hurries to the councillors estate*
Taliesin: *looks to Kaidan and takes his hand, a deep fear and pain in his eyes* let’s go-
Kaidan: *squeezes his hand* aye! Hurry! We’re running on borrowed time! *hurries with the group after the captain*
*Meanwhile*
Vivienne: *whimpering as the guards strip him down to just his under cloth, their rough hands grabbing at him all over and shifting him one way and another as they shackle his hands, feet and neck with magic surprising irons before forcing him into a cell as they confiscate his belongings, his priest mask and muatra included, along with the ring of Khajiiti, leaving him locked behind bars, small and vulnerable against the wall* …Mephala… *sniffles and curls up* I feel like I’m right back where I started…
???: Azuras mercy…
Vivienne: *blood turning to ice in his veins and skin prickling up in fear as he recognises that voice* …no… p-please… *looks up to the doorway leading into the holding cells, to see sen dres, standing there, smiling at him*
Sen Dres: *taking in every inch of the demi god chained up before him* oh vivi… you look even more divine since I last saw you… *reaches into his sleeve pulling out the mask of vivec, and the pipe from the brothel madam* I’m so happy I finally found you again…
*meanwhile outside*
Nerevar: *hurries out of the councillors estate with voryn, the councillors and team dragonborn in tow to see the crowd now gathered outside the temple screaming and rioting in anger threatening to break down the doors if they don’t release vivienne* oh gods-
Voryn: *holds up his ordinator shield marked with the sigils of house dagoth & indoril* everyone behind me. Captain?
Captain Veleth: *readies his shield* men help us part the crowd!
Voryn: *pushes through the crowd moving the group through behind him as he goes before they reach the steps in time to witness Galdrus suddenly pushing Elder Othreloth from the temple doors, knocking the elderly mer to the ground with ease* Elder Othreloth- GUARDS! *points to Galdrus* KILL HIM!
Galdrus Hlervu: *laughs* Oh please yes do try~ by the time you breach these doors I will be in charge of this gods forsaken island~ *flares down at Elder Othreloth as the elderly mer struggles to get up* You’ve held onto your position long enough~ I think it’s time for a new change of managem-… *goes quiet as suddenly the space between him and the other dunmer is filled by the red and black robes of Voryn Dagoth as he teleports right in front of him* I-
Voryn: … *grabs his head tight and stares into his eyes as his third one begins to glow, showing him visions so maddening his mind practically turns to mush in absolute terror* Obey…
Galdrus Hlervu: *slack jawed, nods* yesss, my looord…
Nerevar: *runs up the stairs with tram dragonborn, gently helping Elder Othreloth up* e-easy my friend. *looks to Voryn* I’ll go get h-
Voryn: no. I will. I still can’t be sure if he’s the same as he was back then or not and I cannot risk you being killed a second time my love… stay here and help the guards get this crowd under control. You lot! *points to team dragonborn* with me. *pushes Galdrus down the stairs and hurries into the temple*
