The three-day event is organized by a group who like to call themselves ‘Surfing Yogis’.

The ‘surfer yogis’ will surf for the cause ‘Earth positive and carbon negative’ in the current installment.

Organizer Sanjay Samanta said artists, musicians and photographers and the professional surfers are going to attend the event.

He said the theme of the event is selected to promote a safe environment.

A workshop would be conducted a couple of weeks before the surfing festival kicks off where the local community would interact with experts of the sport of surfing.
