NGWE SAUNG, MYANMAR - Competitive surfing was barely known in Myanmar a few years ago but one local beach town is riding a wave of enthusiasm to the SEA Games for the first time ever.
"I can't live without surfing," she said after a day in the blue waters off the small coastal resort town of Ngwe Saung."I did not expect to be chosen for the national team but I'm thrilled at the opportunity." The 25-year-old encountered the sport while studying in southern California and has been hooked since, saying she"always feels happy" on the water.Thwe Thwe Soe has one of the best chances to win a medal among the handful of surfers going, but all are training hard.
The mild waves at Ngwe Saung present a paradox for competitive surfers - they are good to learn on but much tamer than the conditions in surfing hotspots.
