India’s First WrkWrk SUP Race Clinic by Daniel Hasulyo

India’s First WrkWrk SUP Race Clinic by Daniel Hasulyo

by | Dec 4, 2023 | Athlete Development, SUP Development

In a groundbreaking development for the Indian sports community, the inaugural  ‘WrkWrk Stand-up Paddle Race Clinic’, led by former world champion Daniel Hasulyo, has concluded with resounding success. Over the course of the past four days, Indian athletes underwent rigorous training under Hasulyo’s expert guidance, with a singular focus on improvement and the ambition to emerge as global contenders in the years to come.

Daniel Hasulyo, a pivotal figure in the global development of Stand-up Paddle (SUP) sports, is optimistic about India’s untapped potential in this discipline. He firmly believes that, given the right infrastructure and coaching, Indian athletes can not only compete but stand atop international podiums.

The Surfing Swami Foundation has been tirelessly working on a long-term project to provide world-class training facilities to Indian athletes. Today, this vision has become a reality as Indian athletes gain access to top-tier SUP boards and coaching.

This significant leap forward owes its success to the generous support of “WrkWrk,” a company specializing in creating premium co-working and managed office spaces. With a visionary goal of transforming the coast of Mangalore into a “Silicon Coast” that seamlessly blends work and the thrill of SUP/Surf, WrkWrk stepped forward as the title sponsor for this transformative workshop. Through their sponsorship, WrkWrk has provided the Surfing Swami Foundation with state-of-the-art SUP boards, facilitating superior training for Indian athletes.

 

The pivotal role played by the Dakshina Kannada District Tourism Committee cannot be overstated. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in making this event possible and reflects their commitment to promoting sports and leisure activities in the region.

This workshop stands as a momentous occasion in India’s SUP history, made possible by the collective efforts of the Surfing Swami Foundation, the Dakshina Kannada District Tourism Committee, and the visionary sponsorship of WrkWrk. As Indian athletes take their place on the international stage, this event marks a significant stride toward realizing the full potential of India in the world of Stand-up paddling.
