Nasima Akter - Bangladeshi Surfer Girl Meet Bangladesh's first surfer girl, 18 year old, Nasima Akter.  This young lady's story has been made into a documentary "The Most Fearless" which will shown at film festivals later in the year.

As well as being a pioneer for women's surfing, Nasima has also trained to become Bangladesh's first female lifeguard. One very courageous young lady.
