South Africa

_Name:  Puvashnee Nydoo
Location: Durban, South Africa
Age: Unknown
Unique thing about her: She's the first sponsored female surfer of South African Indian origin

We know very little about Puvashnee except that she is from South Africa and she can can pretty much rip.  We have initiated contact with her and hope to share with you more about this beautiful, accomplished pro surfer, and what it was like for her as an up and coming female surfing breaking barriers in a male dominated sport in post-apartheid South Africa.

_Although we will be focusing our initial research in South Asia, the Middle East and East Asia, we are eager to keep track of the first female surfers emerging in Africa.  Check back for periodic updates. 

    Know of a trailblazing female surfer in any country of Africa?  Say it!
