SurfGirl Senegal travel feature – Endless Summer
Despite being just a five-hour flight from Europe, and boasting world-class surf, balmy water temps and year-round sunshine, Senegal still isn’t on the radar of the everyday surf traveller. This travel feature in SurfGirl magazine encourages adventurous surf travellers to step off the beaten track and explore the West African cultural and surfing paradise of Senegal.
Following a three-week trip exploring the surf breaks around Dakar, the article includes first-hand experience, a guide to the surf breaks and practical travel advice. Tracing the surf history of Senegal from The Endless Summer surfing movie to the first professional Senegalese surfer hitting the World Tour, it also spotlights the rise of Senegalese surfers, and includes interviews with the country’s first Senegalese surfer, Patina Ndiaye, and the founder Surf Kids Shredding Senegal, Marta Imarisio.
