2022 started for us with the inauguration of the school building, on January 20th. It is the base where we want to start a new journey together with our customer-friends. This is a path of good vibes, healthy habits and growth. It is for making a change in the community, for the youth with a difficult future and for anyone who wants to play out in tune with nature (the ocean is our playground). We deeply believe that Surfing can change our lives for the better.
The last years have not been easy for us. We co-founded Covelong Point Surfing School in 2012 and left it in 2019, to continue with the real values of a Surf School for the community. Our school has to be an instrument to develop a sustainable future for the village and a place where local boys and girls can grow. We wish the best to Covelong Point Surfing School boys in this new period.
During 2022 we have been setting up little by little the facilities and services that we want to provide to our customers; The area in front of the board room is transformed into a hall to relax, seat, rest, or chat. Also, we have prepared a kitchen and a desk to serve teas, juices and food in the hall and on the rooftop which is coming soon. Because apart from teaching Surfing in the sea (which we love), we also like chatting and expending quality time with the friends that visit us, and we want to have a lively atmosphere of great people in our school. All in all, we have plenty of space for overnight stays (tents), for courses that take several days or for Surfing camps coming on student trips too. Additionally, our building is used for barbeque events, birthday celebrations, or dance floor, just for example.
Gradually our activities are extending to the village too, with homestays, local food and visits to the most representative locations.
2022 has been the year when many friends have returned to visit us after corona lockdowns. We are so happy to receive the same colleagues that accompanied us in the starting years, now coming back to know the new project.
We are aware that we have things to improve but most of all, in 2023, we want to focus on providing the best experience to everybody who visits our school. The sun, beach, sea and waves will be out there and we want to share them with all of you. For sure, the young boys and girls will improve their skills in the new year, new kids will come together with their parents and will start practicing Surfing or Kayaking, old friends will visit us, new friends will be made, our instructors will do surf-trips and compete in championships, more visitors will come to Kovalam village, new events will be organized, new projects will be launched… That is why we want to provide the best experience to our customers and continue building a better future around us.
Wish you the best for 2023,
Murthy & Sarala & School instructors
