Today schools are going beyond education centers. They are becoming awareness centers. The Bay of Life School is one such surfing school located in Chennai that teaches children not just to surf but to preserve ocean life and control pollution. They are known as a – School for Ocean sport & Ocean literacy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamal\u2019s fifth idea is Chennai\u2019s First Accredited Surf School<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Bay of Life School in Chennai is the first accredited surf school in Tamil Nadu. Nestled in Kovalam Chennai, surfing lessons are offered at a surf spot in Covelong on the East Coast Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the early 2000s, Showkath Jamal dreamed of two things \u2013 to become a teacher or to become an entrepreneur. But due to family pressures and tradition he had to complete five years of law school. After he got his Masters in Business Law in 2004, he dived straight into teaching law to BA students while on the side, volunteering with the Crocodile Bank and the Snake Park in Chennai. Then in 2005, he set up his first entrepreneurial venture a BPO. Then came another venture in 2009, Yo Potato,<\/em> an online food delivery platform that was like \u2018Swiggy before Android\u2019. But sadly everything failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then went to the Kalinga Centre for Rainforest Ecology (KCRE) to study wildlife conservation. But with hardly any forest reserves in Chennai, he turned to look at the ocean as a big reserve with extensive marine biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day as he watched foreigners surf on the beach, he thought to himself, \u201cthe ocean is the largest reserve on earth. If we start a surf school where we can teach people about the ocean and how they can enjoy it, then people will come and take care of it,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He first took surf lessons from the foreigners and later invited a senior surfer, Reece McGowen, from California to teach a small team to surf for a period of six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2011, Showkath Jamal founded the \u2018Bay of Life\u2019 School. He wanted to encourage sustainable sports without harming the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
