Kadal — "ocean" in Tulu — teaches surfing, SUP and kayaking on Malpe, one of Karnataka's safest beaches to learn. Run by locals Rohan R Suvarna and Tanvi Jagadish with over a decade in this water, they read the tides rather than run to a fixed timetable, so sessions flex to when the waves are best. ISA/ILS-certified coaching, from a one-day first wave to a five-day foundation course
