Meet Sathish Kumar, a renowned Stand Up Paddle Athlete and Founder of SUP MARINAA Club. He created history by becoming the first Indian to represent the country in ICF SUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS held in Hungary in 2021. Sathish has also represented India in numerous international SUP competitions and has been appreciated by Hon’ble Vice-President of India. He is a staunch conservator of a plastic-free ocean and conducts plastic awareness paddling every year to create awareness about the dumping of plastic waste in waterbodies. This year, he has set his sights on a new world record by Stand Up Paddling solo between Dhanushkodi, India to Thalaimannar, Sri Lanka and returning to India, to create plastic awareness between the two countries in the historical pathway of Palk Strait. This solo paddling event will be dedicated to “ONE OCEAN SUMMIT” and India’s commitment to eliminating single-use plastic.
‘Surfing Swami’ always dreamt of doing this and today it’s such a happy moment to see that this has come true!
