The ocean teaches more than any classroom ever could

OUR
STORY
At Salty Soul Surf Shack, we believe surfing is for everyone.
We’re a surf school based on the beautiful Mandrem Beach in Goa, founded by certified surf coach Swapnil, who turned his love for the ocean into a way of life.
​
​Swapnil’s journey started with bodyboarding as a kid, which led to a deep connection with the sea. He later followed his passion, leaving college to pursue surfing full-time — and eventually opened this school to share that joy with others.
​
Our goal is to make surfing accessible in India, especially for those who’ve never tried it before. Many people are afraid of the ocean or don’t know where to begin — and we’re here to change that.
Whether it’s your first wave or your tenth session, our experienced instructors will guide you with patience, safety, and stoke.
We care deeply about the ocean and do our part to keep it clean. Our team regularly removes trash from the beach and spreads awareness among visitors about protecting the coastline. Every wave we ride is a reminder to respect the sea that gives us so much.
