Diah Rahayu: Bali's pioneer female surfer - PHOTO

Unlike many Indonesian girls, she's right at home on the beach."I think my soul is already in the water. The ocean just calls me, 'Come, come, come.' When I go to the beach, I feel like it's my home," she tells CNN's Human to Hero series.The 20-year-old is Bali's only native female pro surfer.The Indonesian island is a mecca for wave-seekers and beach-loving tourists, but of the locals it's mainly men who mix it up with the visitors."A lot of my friends say, 'Why do you like surfing? Surfing is dangerous.' It's not dangerous for me. It's very fun," Rahayu says."Indonesian girls are scared of getting dark skin and don't want to go surfing. And I'm the luckiest one, I love the beach."Born in Seminyak, a coastal town in southern Bali that has been absorbed by the major tourist resort of Kuta, Rahayu has lived by the sea all her life."So many Australians come and act like bad tourists and make everything dirty," she told Surfing Life website last month. "But no matter what I would never leave Bali, because I can surf amazing waves all-year-round and you can't do that anywhere else."(CNN)Bakudaily.Az
