Surfs Up In Water Sport Capital Goa

A veritable paradise for all beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts

, the sandy shored state of Goa is the unofficial Mecca for wet and wild adventures in India. Offering sun-kissed beaches, monumental waves and diverse marine life heritage, travellers are justifiably spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting from the wide variety of mind blowing activities on offer.

A hotspot for all windsurfing enthusiasts who are typically found tackling the emerald waters in beaches including Vagator, Bogmolo, Calangute ,Dona Paula, Pololem, Colva, Baga and Miramar. Beginner windsurfers should head down to Dona Paula bay where the calm waters and steady wind conditions provide the ideal set up for a first attempt. Instructors and trainers are also available on most beaches in this windsurfing headquarters which regularly plays hosts to events such as the Open Board Sailing Competition and the Windsurfing Regatta.

Sailing is another popular activity in Goa as it is one of the most relaxing water sport activities on offer. Dinghy sailing is the preferred mode of sailing here as the 15 foot vessels that accommodate up to 4 passengers and are easily available for rental from hotels and other boat operators. Instructors are also on hand for those who wish to engage in the sport that is often referred to as beer and sandwich sailing due to the laid back nature of dinghy sailing. Speed fanatic and adrenalin junkies on the other hand can spend their time water skiing gliding and trailing behind speed boats that travel at break neck speeds. Water skiing is also a great sightseeing tool while those with a love for speed can also hire their own speed boats that sometimes travel up to 40mph or a motorboat which goes 15mph for a spin around the coast. Ideal for visiting sites such as Grant Island, Fort Aguda, St. Jacinto Island Sinquerim, and Old Goa the speed boats can house nearly 8 guests making it a family friendly vessel which is also used for parasailing. As a sought after activity among young travellers parasailing opportunities are also amply available in Goas beachfronts particularly in areas such as Candolim Beach and Dona Paula jetty.

Scuba divers will also have plenty to gush about as the Portuguese shipwrecks that dot Goas ocean floor has fostered a plethora of marine inhabitants. The best diving spots in Goa are concentrated around Grande Island while the most frequented sites include the Uma Guma Reef, Davy Jones Locker, Bounty Bay, Sail Roack, Surge City, Turbo Tunnel and Suzy's Wreck. Anglers can also expect to fish out Goas massive mussels in Betul while rockfish, mullet, soormai and salmon are top catches in Agonda.

Guests in search of an award winning Goa beach resort will be more than satisfied with The Zuri White Sands Goa Resort & Casino. Ideally located on the longest beach in Varca Goa this Carlson President's award winning rest serves as the perfect Goa resort for discerning travellers.
