Know Your Trainer - Pazhani Vijiyan

Of the many fishing hamlets around the village of Kovalam, there’s an abundance of fisherfolk. Apart from the fish they catch at sea, they have a different sort of natural talent. A talent of being at comfort with the sea, which became handy to a lot of youngsters from these villages. Pazhani, a Surfing Champion (2017) being the son of a fisherman has always been associated with the ocean waters, found his rhythm and love for surfing as a kid, when he saw his peers surfing with makeshift surf boards, mostly being old doors and broken boards. He was identified by Mr.Murthy as a talented individual, who as a surfer had a knack for teaching. He started with the normal surfboard and started cross-riding waves and soon moved on to fibre glass surfboards. Since he was one among many learning to surf on such fibre glass it took a while before Pazhani found his groove. Teaching people how to surf made him realize that he became a better surfer every time he taught someone new. As it happens for anyone who thinks of becoming a teacher in any field, people ask for to be taught by a champion or simply be taught by the best. There came a time when he was also asked a similar question, because people wanted to be taught surfing by a Champion surfer. Pazhani, completed his course to become a surf instructor and was awarded the Best Instructor award in 2015. He started taking part in competition. In 2016 he came up as a Runner Up in the competition. In 2017, he clinched his first title as a Champion Surfer. In 2018 and 2019, he made it to the semi final. Post which, pazhani enjoys teaching people how to surf at Kovalam at his own surf school – The Soulmate Surf School.
