Water Sports in Goa: Holding Your Interest Superbly

Delhi’s scorching heat is something that you cannot resist, actually. Air-conditioners, ice-creams and even chilled beer bottles seem to be ineffective. And for all the wanderer spirits, this calls for a freaky holiday trip. Being a water sports lover, I decided to fly to Goa Beaches. This is one such destination that is unbeatable in terms of water sports in India.
Water Sports in Goa
While peeping out of the window of my plane, I watched & admired vast picturesque coastline and serene beaches of Goa. The entire coastline was dotted with countless tourists busy in sunbathing and enjoying water sports there. I was booked in a beach resort there. After spending my evening at leisure, I enjoyed authentic sea-food delicacies (comprising of fish, prawns, lobsters & Feni) at my resort. My exploration started the very next morning from the famed Agonda Beach. I could see numerous restaurants / bars and handicraft shops there alongside the coastline. After having my brunch there, I went up to a water sports operator who assisted me with a trainer. He briefed me regarding thrilling water activities. 
I started with angling, which is one of the safest and easiest of water sport activity. I was provided with a fishing rod & food for bait. The sea was full of tempting seafood and my frequent catches were comprised of soormai, salmon and mullet. Next I was transported to Candolim Beach by Dinghy Sailing that is locally known as 'Beer and Sandwich Sailing'. My dinghy was about 15 feet long and sailing calmly in the direction of the gentle wind across the sea was remarkable. 
I also paid short trips to beaches like Anjuna, Baga, Dona Paula and Majorda where I enjoyed a number of sports like dinghy sailing, parasailing, scuba diving, water scootering, water skiing and wind surfing. Those adventure-cum-recreational activities also allowed me to admire the panoramic view of the entire region and marine life. It was, more or less, like enjoying summer vacations in a watery paradise for me. Goa simply captivates your soul and offers you the best holidays of your lifetime.
