10. The Bangladesh Surf Club
3 years ago
Here are a few images from a recent trip Kahana Kalama and Surfing the Nations went on to Bangladesh. It is a glimpse into a documentary that Russell Brownley is working on about a surf club in Bangladesh. Many of the children are street kids or come from very poor families. Some don't even know how to swim, but their love for surfing brings them together and into a way of life they never even knew existed. An ocean that was once deemed off limits due to fear and a very conservative Islamic culture, is now becoming source of fun, escape and even a chance for a way to make a living.

  • Great stuff, fabulous images.
    I've been eyeing off that area myself for a surf trip on my travels to Bangladesh.
    I'll be back there a lot this year if you're intending on returning ever?
    Check out my documentary set in Bangladesh.
