National Surfing Championship Series: The opening day of the 6th Indian Open of Surfing, scheduled to take place at Tannirbhavi Eco Beach, was called off on Friday without any competition due to heavy rainfall and unsafe sea conditions resulting from the early onset of monsoon and the cyclonic activity in the Arabian Sea.
After early morning assessments revealed high swells and erratic wave patterns far exceeding safe competition levels, the organizers including the Surfing Federation of India, Mantra Surf Club, and Surfing Swami Foundation, made the precautionary decision to postpone the day’s events.
The three-day premier surfing competition is a second stop of the National Surfing Championship Series 2025 and is being organised by the Surfing Swami Foundation and hosted by Mantra Surf Club under the aegis of Surfing Federation of India. Earlier this week, due to forecasted adverse weather conditions, the organising committee took the precautionary decision to shift the event venue from Sasihithlu Beach to Tannirbhavi Eco Beach. However, the weather remained unfavourable, with persistent heavy rainfall thwarting any competitive activity on day one, even at the revised location.
