21-year-old Pakistani aims to be the country's first professional surfer, founding a surfing community amid challenges.

Attiq Ur Rehman, a 21-year-old from southern Pakistan, aims to be the country's first professional surfer, despite challenges from his father and limited resources. He founded "Surfers of Bulleji," a community of about 50 members, including young children, who share and repair around 25 surfboards. Inspired by American surfer Kelly Slater, they strive to compete globally, navigating the difficulties of Pakistan's unideal surfing conditions and lack of official recognition in the sport.
