He has now been selected to participate in the Open Surfing event – Covelong Point 2016, an open surfing event being held at Kovalam, Kerala from August 26 to 29. Participants would be coming from all across the globe and Kalyan would be one of them. If he wins, it could give him a chance to compete in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. 

 

Hailing from a poor family background, he is currently studying intermediate which is being sponsored by his coach. In spite of having less surfer boards to his vicinity, he won many competitions in many places like Puri and Puducherry.

Kalyan takes his inspiration from his coach, and cricketer Jonty Rhodes.
