Haven't heard of something called Wake Boarding? Neither had we, until we discovered it's getting quite the attention here in Goa.

Urrak and Niro

Sure you have heard of feni, that alcohol double distilled from the cashew fruit. But do you know there is just so much to the cashew fruit than feni. Take urrak for example.
