India's First Female Surfer Is Now Inspiring Young Girls To Hit The Waves

    Surfing isn't just something you do on the internet.

    Surfer collective Brown Girl Surf has uploaded a video about Ishita Malaviya, India's first female surfer, who is introducing the sport to young girls in the country.

    Malaviya talks about how she learnt such a niche sport in India, and how she is passing on her knowledge to help youngsters fall in love with surfing too.

    Malaviya also talks about the difficulties involved with encouraging women to take part in sports in India, particularly the obsession with fair skin.

    Bet she can inspire you to pick up a surfboard as well. Get to know more about her story here:
