A surf school on the beaches of Dakar is making the sport accessible to local children, offering them a chance to ride waves that were once out of reach. Founder Ibra Samb, who first learned to surf on plywood boards, aims to inspire a new generation of Senegalese surfers.
The initiative provides equipment and coaching to youngsters who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience surfing. Samb's own journey from makeshift boards to establishing a formal school underscores the potential for grassroots development of the sport in West Africa.
