Located at Serenity Beach, Pondicherry, Aloha Surf India offers beginner-friendly surfing lessons for visitors looking to experience the waves of the Bay of Bengal. The school is part of the Aloha Surf India surf community founded by experienced surfer and instructor Velu, who has strong connections with the development of surfing in Pondicherry.
Aloha offers group surf lessons at ₹1,500 per person and private lessons at ₹2,000, with a surfboard and rash vest included. Lessons are suitable for beginners as well as surfers looking to improve their skills, with instructors providing guidance both on the beach and in the water.
Surf sessions are conducted based on sea, wave and tide conditions, so advance booking is recommended. The Pondicherry operation currently runs seasonally, generally from June to September.
