The Uttara Kannada district has stopped all watersports because of the monsoon season.
The government made this decision to keep tourists safe from big waves and fast-flowing rivers.

If people break the rules, they could lose their licenses, and the police will be watching the popular areas.
Some people had previously complained about watersports continuing during this time.
