Capturing the country’s ‘Rising Tide’
Capturing The Country’s ‘Rising Tide’. “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
India's first surf documentary features the journey of some of country’s pioneer surfers
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
H Jackson Junior couldn’t have been more right about the importance of chasing our dreams and making the impossible come to life. One such story is that of Ishita Malaviya, India’s first surfer girl. In the country of 1.2 billion people, she is the one who dared to chase her dream of becoming a surfer when people couldn’t believe they could surf in the country.
She has become a walking sensation in the region where people are surprised to see a girl riding the waves when she “should have been married”, she says.
‘A Rising Tide’ is a short documentary surf film, created by Indian surfer trio Tushar Pathiyan, Ishita Malaviya and Krish Makhija in association with Quiksilver India. In a country with a population of 1.2 billion and just over a hundred surfers, the film sets out to explore the journey of some of India’s pioneer surfers, their humble surf beginnings and their deep connection with the ocean.
“Through interviews with local watermen we celebrate the joy of riding waves and the aloha spirit of the Indian surf tribe. As the numbers of surfers in the country keep growing each day, we hope that these stories may never be lost and shall help create a deeper sense of surf community in India,” they said.
The first documentary surf film to come out of India, ‘A Rising Tide’ features pioneer surfers Mukesh Panjanathan, Jack ‘Swami’ Hebner, Velu Murugan, Satyaraj Das, Tushar Pathiyan, Ishita Malaviya, Kishore Kumar, Kiran Kumar, Spandan Banerjee, Rahul Malaney, Shamanth Kumar, Murthy Megavan, Melville Anthony Smythe, Kalyan Raithi, Hari Varma, D Anudeep and Nissam Yoshikawa.
