Gum For My Boat

I watched this surf movie with the Molokai missions team.

This surf movie is about surfing in Bangladesh and how it has changed their community. One guy bought a surfboard off and Australian and was the first surfer in Bangladesh. He then helped establish a surf club for kids to learn how to surf and share a common interest. What I find fascinating is that this only happened a few years ago. Now Surfing the Nations plays an active role in the Bangladesh community and helps change the lives of the kids there. It is cool to see how surfing positively impacted a community in need. Another interesting aspect is guy who bought the surfboard had no idea what modern surfing looked like. The surfers over there know nothing about surf etiquette but they don't care at all. Every wave is a party wave!

Conclusion: This movie is a great illustration of the positive impact surfing can have on a community.

85/100
