The sea, for many, is one of the strongest natural antidepressants there is. Getting on a scooty and riding out to the ocean for a swim, and maybe a surf (if you're able) is a majestic little peek into paradise, where all the grit just washes away in a wave of euphoria. To that end, People hit up beach festivals like Outlook in Croatia and Boardmasters in the UK, but few know that there's a homegrown surf fest right here in India.

The India Surf Festival. What is it?
Started in 2012 by a bunch of surf enthusiasts and free thinkers called the Surfing Yogis, this festival embodies the kind of chill vibe we day-dream about at work. Walk through a small patch of forest and land up on Ramchandi Beach in Konark, Odisha, where there's miles upon miles of empty beach and curious backwaters all around, so you can pretty much wake up in the morning, zip your tent shut and spend the day in the water.

There was also a sick AF DJ spinning tunes from 1 in the afternoon to 6 in the evening during this edition. If I can find his Soundcloud, I'll be set for a year!
