Participating in the Asian Surfing Championships here, the quota was awarded to India based on the total ranking points accumulated by its surfers in the event.

While Kishore Kumar missed out narrowly on Saturday after making it to the semi-finals of the U-18 boys category, his stellar show in the competition - finishing first in Round 1, Round 3, and the quarter-finals - earned India the Asian Games quota.
