Surfing Waves

I have been working in India for the last month and am planning on heading to the Andaman Islands next week but am having issues trying to get hold of a board either on the islands or in chennai on the way, does anyone know if there are any boards available on the islands at all? any help would be great!

Jack sadly I think you left your resource run a little late.
The Andamans are very much a surfing frontier and there is virtually no supplies of anything connected to surfing anywhere near. Even Chennai is highly unlikely to produce surf goods.
Lots of the Andamans are a no go zone due to Indian military bases and protection areas for wildlife and "Indigenous" tribes.
Access to most surf zones is by boat a bit like the Mentawais
I googled this;

Most trips on offer were boat cruises and there is a new camp, none of them seemed to have surfboards available, the camp information for the camp on little Andaman Island is fairly poor but they offer a surf school so I would imagine they have surfboards.
If you want to be a frontier surfer , the first thing you need to do is make yourself self surficient ( deliberate spelling or pun).
Unless you are very lucky, a probable fail
Leaving your planning until a week out will just about ensure this.
I hope I'm severely wrong here because misplanning has sometimes led to great adventure.

By the way there are some really good surf spots, as good as many in the Mentawais.
I hope you score them and have a board and the ability to go for it!
