In competitive surfing, Africa is poorly represented and the discipline remains largely dominated by Australians, Brazilians and Americans. But the continent can hope to see things change with the Senegalese surfers, some of whom are beginning to make a living from their passion like Ch\u00e9rif Fall, the second surfer from the country to have signed with a major brand in the discipline.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While surfing remains a very Anglo-Saxon sport with a strong predominance of American, Australian and Hawaiian athletes (in addition to the Brazilians who have won four of the last six world titles in the men's category), the Tokyo Olympic Games will allow us to see in the water surfers that we are less used to admiring in the world championship events. The rules established by the IOC provide for a maximum of two athletes per gender and per country. This rule ensures the presence of competitors from countries where surfing culture is less developed. The Japanese Shun Murakami, the Peruvians Lucca Mesinas and Daniella Rosas and the Israeli Anat Lelior are just a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
