NEW DELHI: Surfing Federation of India on Tuesday announced India’s 2026 surfing season opener, Little Andaman Pro 2026 – National Surf & SUP Championship, scheduled from April 9-12.

The Little Andaman Pro 2026 will debut in a highly anticipated season of Indian surfing just ahead of India’s first-ever campaign at the Asian Games 2026 in Japan later this year. The four-day surfing extravaganza will see India’s top surfers and stand-up paddlers vying for the top honours at the stunning Butler Bay Beach in the Andaman Islands.

Presented by Andaman and Nicobar Tourism and organised by Surfing Federation of India, the event will bring together top surfers from across the country to compete in the Senior Division across Surfing and Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) disciplines, with registrations already underway for the event. TT group has come onboard as the official sponsor for the Surfing Federation of India.

The country secured its first-ever Asian Games quota at the 2024 Asian Surfing Championships and built on that momentum at the 2025 edition in Mahabalipuram, ultimately securing the maximum allocation of four slots, two each in the men’s and women’s categories for the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.
