Surfing: India’s French coach Samai Reboul sets sights on LA Olympics
NEW DELHI: (Sep 17) Frenchman Samai Reboul believes that India’s historic Asian Games debut in surfing should be viewed as a stepping stone towards the “ultimate goal” of qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Reboul, a former surfer and trained coach who has been working with the Indian national team since 2024, is currently preparing the four-member squad in Mahabalipuram ahead of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where surfing will make its continental debut.
India will field two men and two women in the shortboard competition. Kishore Kumar and Sivaraj Babu are competing in the men’s event while Kamali Moorty and Sugar Shanti Banarse will take part in the women’s section.
