Say Hi to Sagit… He’s a 13-Year-Old Sri Lankan Surfer

After the horrific tsunami in 2004 (killing 30,000 people), many of the kids in Sri Lanka were terrified to ever get back in the water… but some weren’t.

“My Name is Sagit” is the story of a 13-year-old Sri Lankan kid who learned to surf following the devastating tsunami of 2004. Sagit lives in Arugam Bay, one of the country’s famed surf breaks, and is the best surfer his age out there. He borrows his cousin’s old junky surfboard or any other board he can get his hands on.
