India’s women surfers Shrishti Selvam and Kamali Moorthy failed to make it into the quarterfinals, losing in the Main Round 3 on day four of the ASF Asian Surfing Championships 2025 on Thursday.
Selvam and Moorthy posted 3.03 and 5.57, respectively, not enough against Asia’s elite, including Isabel Higgs (THA) – 12.00 (Won by 6.33) and Sumomo Sato (JPN).
In the Open Men – Round 2 (Repechage), Kanoa Heejae (KOR) – 16.67 (won by 4.17) set the tone early with an aggressive frontside attack, securing the heat-winning score ahead of Chia-Chi Yu (TPE) – 12.50, Ramil Arromchuen (THA) – 8.00 and Afridun Amu (AFG) – 1.50.
In the U18 Boys’ Repechage, India’s Prahlad Sriram stole the spotlight with a well-timed combination of vertical snaps and flow, earning him a decisive heat win and a place in Round 3 (Main Round).
