A two-person team from the Indian Kayaking and Canoeing Association (IKCA) in New Delhi visited Visakhapatnam this week to assess the area's watersports facilities. "Visakhapatnam has a lot of potentials to host such events. We identified three areas that may be suitable for activities such as kayaking. While Rushikonda Beach, Lawson's Bay Beach, Mudasarlova reservoir, and Thatipudi reservoir are all suitable for hosting watersports events, the national sea kayaking competition may be held in a single location at Rushikonda, "says R Pradeep Naidu, Planning and Development Director, Monetary Advisor of IKCA."
