We were all out and ready by 9 am for surfing. This is probably the most exciting time of my life and we could not wait for another minute to jump into the ocean and start surfing. By 10 am we reach Kallilay surf school on the Serenity beach and change into dry fit clothes. Samai, our instructor from Surf school gives us basic instructions after which we carry our 9 foot boards to the beach. two people carry two boards together because it is way too huge for us to carry alone. First we start with body surfing so we don't use the board. Second, we body surf with the boards. Third, we learn how to pop up on our boards after catching the right wave. We practiced pop ups on the shore first, then the water. We were also given safety instructions and thought how to use the boards carefully. The session was for one and a half hours after which we went to a restaurant and ate. We were starving. I was also bruised and had a minor sprain in my ankle after landing in all the possible wrong ways. In the evening we went to the youth center. The instructors challenged us to find the youth center by ourselves and since we didn't have our phones, we kept asking people for direction. Luckily I knew Tamil. Our jaws dropped after reaching the place. The whole freaking place was so creative and fascinating, I wondered how my childhood would have been completely different if I had a place like this. The place had everything I could imagine, it was my dreamland. There were crazy stuff to do when you're bored. Technology did not seem to affect the kids here in any way. They had tree house, indoor games, round tables, crazy cycling tracks, a game room and what not. It was crazy. C.R.A.Z.Y. We were all so busy exploring it.
