Pipe dreams: Bangladesh surfers chase waves at Asian Games

Bangladesh's surfers from Cox's Bazar, a region known for its long coastline along the Bay of Bengal, are striving to gain recognition for surfing in a country dominated by cricket and football. Surfers such as Mohammad Mannan and Fatima Akhter are preparing for the Asian Games, where surfing will make its debut. Despite limited local opportunities and societal challenges, particularly for female athletes like Akhter, these surfers remain dedicated to their passion. Mannan, who started surfing after skateboarding, faces difficulties due to the lack of resources and support in Bangladesh, yet he remains optimistic about the sport's potential growth. Their journey highlights both the personal sacrifices and the broader struggle to establish surfing as a viable sport in a traditionally sports-obsessed nation.
