Big Wata: The Surfers of Sierra Leone (video)



Members of Sierra Leone's only surf club dream of putting Africa on the surfing map.


In 2007, the fishermen of a small fishing community in the West African country of Sierra Leone witnessed an unusual sight.
It was an NGO worker in the ocean. But he wasn't swimming. He was standing on top of a board, riding the waves.
The first - and only - surf club in Sierra Leone, it is at the heart of the local community: a source of pride and, occasionally, of tension.
