Not pro surfers. Just two people who got hooked
Rajeev
Rajeev is the heart and soul of Surf Club India. To say he is obsessed with surfing would be an understatement - he spends almost every waking moment thinking about surfing and dreams about it when he's not awake. His goal in life is to surf across the country and make friends everywhere so he knows where the swell is good and he can head there to surf.
Before the ocean pulled him in, Rajeev spent over 15 years building brands and businesses. Marketing is his superpower and he's headed various brands as a Marketing Head and as a Fractional CMO. He's now putting those powers to use to get more people hooked to surfing. He manages all the content on social media for Surf Club India and brings his passion to work.
Surf Retreats are his way of introducing more people to the surf life and he spends obnoxious amounts of time obsessing over timing the swells right!
Jinal
Jinal is the brain (and the finances) behind Surf Club India. She left her job at Google to pursue her love for scuba diving. But the ocean had other plans for her. Surfing called to her - and she answered.
An introvert at heart, she's still getting used to the idea of running a community and being at the centre of everything.
At Surf Club India, she leads the on-ground experiences: from curating the perfect itineraries for the surf retreats to designing thoughtful workshops. Safety, comfort and inclusivity are at the core of everything she does, making each experience suitable for first-timers, beginners and women stepping into the water. The All Girls Surf Retreats are her way of making a welcoming space for women to experience the freedom of being in the water without any judgements.
Her misson is simple - make surfing and the ocean accessible, safe and joyful for everyone.
What we do?
A surf club based out of….Bangalore? Really?
Well, yes.
Surf Club India is a community-led surf club. What started out as two people trying to find friends to surf with has evolved into so much more!
We now host surf retreats, water-based and ocean awareness workshops and surfskate meetups and workshops across the country.
Curated by surf lovers
If you love surfing, then this is for you.

Surf Retreats & Surf Camps
(India & Abroad)
We host beginner friendly surf retreats across the country (Varkala, Pondicherry, Udupi - not Mulki ;)) and abroad (Sri Lanka, Indonesia).
Each retreat has a specially curated unique itinerary with surf life at the centre! Because there's nothing like surfing with a group of people!
Special female-host led
All Girls Surf Retreats
(India & Abroad)
We are passionate about getting more women in the water. And the All girls surf retreats are our way of creating a safe, fun and non-judgemental way for women to come explore the joy of surfing and the freedom of being in the water. Because women deserve this!
What is Surf Club India?
India's first community led surf club.
Surf Club India is a fast-growing community of surfers, ocean lovers, and first-time surfers who want to build a relationship with the water, even if they live far away from the coast.
Founded by Rajeev & Jinal, Surf Club India began with a simple thought:
India has a large coastline and great waves, but very few Indians get to experience surf life.
Limited awareness, limited access, and almost no community support meant that surfing stayed niche.
We set out to change that.
Our mission is to build an inclusive surf community in India where anyone from any city, any background, and any skill level can learn to surf, feel at home in the ocean, and experience everything surfing stands for.
We host beginner-friendly surf retreats, special All girls surf retreats, ocean awareness and water based workshops in Bangalore, surf strength workshops and community surfskate meetups in different cities.
We want to make surfing approachable, safe, supportive, inclusive, and joyful.
Be a part of a fast growing community!
