Khadjou Sambe: Senegal’s first female surfer is targeting the Olympics

Senegal as a country has few surfers, let alone females participating in this kind of sport. However, one name is changing the narrative.

She’s Khadjou Sambe. The 25-year-old is Senegal’s first female surfer and she dreams of taking her career to the apex.

As a girl growing up, Sambe always wanted to become a surfer and she usually trained near her home in the district of Ngor.
