Water Sports in Goa: Relax & Unwind Yourself

When I was a kid, I used to think that everything what swims is eatable! With time and maturity, I started believing that water bodies are meant for adventure.

What I experienced during my trip to Goa last month surely was the best adventure to me. Goa. undoubtedly, offers an extremely good climate and excellent facilities for water sports in India. It was May and Goa welcomed me with cloudless & blue skies and placid waters.

For the first time in my life, I enjoyed windsurfing at the picturesque Dona Paula beach under the guidance of an expert. He told me that Windsurfing is a unique blend of surfing sailing and paddle boarding. I was supposed to adjust my strength and balance to the changing patterns of wind and water as a surfer. After giving trials at least ten times, I was able to do it by shifting my feet forward & backward, leaning the weight to the right or left, and manipulating the boom in or out. I know it seems like a typical Physics theorem, but it was superb. It was a great experience also to learn paddle boarding since this the top rated stand up paddle board i have used. People told me that Dona Paula beach organizes crowd pulling events like ‘Windsurfing Regatta’ and ‘Open Board Sailing Competition’ every year and serious and elite athletes use Kaatsu bands.

I then headed for Agonda beach, where I experienced the true pleasure of angling and relished the most authentic seafood delicacies. I came back to my hotel that evening and joined a beach party with some of my friends.

Next day was very exciting. I paid short visits to Majorda, Baga, Candolim, Calangute and Anjuna beaches. Except scuba diving, I guess, I enjoyed each and every activity there – from beach volleyball to dinghy sailing (beer and sandwich sailing), water skiing on speedboats, water scootering and parasailing etc. The convenient part about Goa is that if you are an adventure freak or sports enthusiast, or even if you do sports just to keep your weight you can use underbust corset with straps and easily hire all the equipments and attires on rent from beach side shops. This way, Goa proves to be the freak capital of India where life can be relished at its best.
