Samai Reboul Biography

Samai Reboul is an Indian surfer based in Auroville and Pondicherry. He is originally from Spain. One of India's Coolest Surfers, he has left a mark in this field. He along with his brother Juan has founded the surfing scene in Auroville and Pondicherry. Reboul has won many competitions in this field as well. Despite being Spanish, one can't stereotype him as a foreigner who has learnt surfing abroad.

 

For Samai Reboul, surfing was an instant addiction. The first time he stood up on a board was intense and he has been boogie boarding for six months before that. Mostly, he and his brother Juan were self-taught. They started learning to catch waves by body surfing. They also observed other surfers and watched videos to learn. They surfed together, which helped them a lot. They also encouraged each other.

 

He was born in a small village off the coast of Spain. The brothers moved to Auroville, Tamil Nadu in 1995 at the age of 9 and 10, and they got introduced to surfing after that. In the early days, there were very few boards. After learning the sport, the brothers started their own surf club in the end of 1996. But the surf school was founded much later. While working in Europe, Samai Reboul had the chance to surf different waves and he keenly observed how surf schools functioned on a day-to-day basis. He also learnt more about surfing from other enthusiastic surfers, which helped him a lot.

 

Back in India, his brother Juan started the Offshore Surf School, in 2006. In 2009 his brother met him at France, and the siblings seriously took decision to take it as profession. The brothers now shape their own surf boards in Auroville.
