From Ngor to the world stage
BUILT FROM THE LINEUP
Anda Surf Club was co-founded by Senegalese surfers Cherif Fall and Ibra Samb, and photographer Nicole Sweet. Sponsored by Billabong and Volcom, Cherif and Ibra built their careers in a sport where access to equipment, coaching, travel, and competition makes all the difference.Now they’re bringing that experience home to Ngor: backing the surfers ready to compete, and building the next generation behind them.
ROAD TO LA28
Nine-time Senegalese national champion Cherif Fall has been selected to represent Senegal at the 2027 ISA World Surfing Games in El Salvador, May 22-30. It is the first event to qualify surfers by name for the LA28 Olympic Games, with a continental spot reserved for Africa.Anda Surf Club is behind his preparation: training, travel, and equipment to get him there ready to compete.
THE NEXT WAVE
Coached by Ibra Samb and Cherif Fall, a group of young surfers from Ngor has moved beyond weekly sessions into bigger waves and real training. The goal: compete as Team Anda in local events, and one day follow Cherif onto the international stage.
WHERE IT STARTS
Every Sunday, around 20 kids from Ngor, ages 7 to 14, paddle out for free sessions led by Ibra, Cherif, and local volunteers. Girls are charging right alongside them, owning their place in the lineup.
THE CONTAINER
A shipping container in Almadies, turned into our home base. It brings surfers together, with access to boards, equipment, and a place to connect with the local surf community. Ibra and Cherif run the Anda Surf School from here, and it’s the foundation for everything that comes next.
