"I would always see people surfing and I'd say to myself: 'But where are the girls who surf? Why don't I go surfing, represent my country, represent Africa, represent Senegal, as a black girl?'"

"I always think to myself, when I wake up in the morning: 'Khadjou, you've got something to do, you represent something everywhere in the world, you must go straight to the point, don't give up. Whatever people say, don't listen, go forward - so that everybody can get up and believe they can surf.’"

"When I am in the water, I feel something extraordinary, something special in my heart."

-- Khadjou Sambe, Senegal's first woman professional surfer
