Surfing:

Surfing as a Riding on waves toward the shoreline takes skill, stamina, and agility. After paddling to the point where waves are breaking, a surfer catches a wave and rides it using one of several basic moves.

In the bottom turn, a surfer turns the surfboard sharply off the trough at the base of a wave and uses momentum and speed gathered from the wave's motion to direct the surfboard up the face of the wave-the smooth section below the wave's white crest.

The basic idea behind surfing is to ride the unbroken portion of a wave for as great a distance as possible, using a variety of maneuvers to speed up, slow down, and maneuver around the breaking portion of the wave.


Proficient surfers continue to ride until the entire wave has broken and become whitewater.

Kite Surfing: Kite surfing has grown into one of the most radical new water sports ever. Advances in kite technology have made a massive difference. Once a very rare sport, kite surfing has now become commonplace in many part of the world.

The exhilarating experience during the Catamaran transfer from Agatti to Kadmat Island (Distance 65 km):


A cruise from Agatti to Kadmat onboard the HSC [High-Speed Catamaran] will take around 2.30 hours. The blue sea around you is a beauteous vision. The cool ocean breeze and seagulls will give an unforgettable journey. You will encounter sandbanks, a sparkling coral reef, a large school of fish and other marine animals.

Thus, before you arrive the Kadmat Island – a beautiful place blessed with unique natural beauty - the inner island transfer will nourish your mind with a thrilling experience!

During the travel, you could catch a glimpse of many different islands, mostly uninhabited. Bangaram island [9km] is situated just opposite the side of Thinnakara island [11km] and share the vast lagoon and coralline banks with Agatti. On the north-south edge of the lagoon Parali (i); Parali (ii), Parali (iii) and Kalpitty isle are situated.

Pitti Bank is situated around 20 km ahead of Agatti Island. Pitti Island also called Pakshi-Pitti (Island of birds) and hence there are many birds over here, particularly the Seagulls. The host of the seagulls and other birds, and their group activities will delight everyone - rather it is a bonus to the tourists.


When the Catamaran passes close to these islands, you get yet another unique experience. A momentary, brief passing look of the local fishermen engaged in fishing operations with Pole and line vessels, a traditional method of “Tuna Pole and Line Fishing”.

A pole and line consist of a hooked line attached to a pole. The vessels carry live bait to entice the fish to aggregate around the boat by using bait and water spraying. The Lakshadweep Sea is abounding with Tuna, Kingfish, Barracuda, Shark, Snappers, Bonefish, Stonefish, wahoo to name a few.

Pitti Bank is a largely submerged sunken atoll with a very large lagoon area. There are just two islands Pitti and Amini share the lagoon and remain at their opposite ends. Amini Island lies at the northeastern extremity of Pitti Bank, 42 km from the uninhabited Pitti Island.

Kadmat Island, although just 5 km northeast of Amini Island, is separated from it by a deep channel and thus forms a separate geographical unit. Along with the cool breeze of the sea, the scenic beauties and visions, you are slowly getting closer to the exotic Kadmat Island.
