Ishita is India’s first surfer girl. By riding waves and taking up surfing as a sport, Ishita has also broken traditional barriers that women in India face – including the obsession with fair skin and reluctance of parents to allow children to pursue non-mainstream interests. Her story has also inspired many other girls in the region to take up surfing and experience the freedom that comes up with it.
