Have you ever imagined doing something that nobody has done before?
Are you brave enough to pursue what you love and not care what anyone thinks?
Siska Tasiripoula, despite never seeing another woman surf, became the first female surfer of Mentawai.
She is a true pioneer and rebel of surfing.
Siska began surfing at 11 years old on the tiny shore-breaks of Toloulaggo, her hidden jungle paradise.
Under her feet was a finless, snapped, wax-less and leggy-less surfboard which she received after many months of persistent begging to her older brother Mull.
Watch the clip to learn more about Siska's story.
