Somali Surf's Up!

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Kite Surfing is an extreme sport that mixes wind-surfing and paragliding, and there are few better places to practice the sport than the east coast of Africa, but unfortunately there are few places more dangerous! Denmark's Jacob Sorensen however has just started an attempt to kite surf over 1000km to Somalia - but why? Sportshour's Sarah Mulkerrins caught up with him, via a satellite phone... somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean! Photo: Jacob on his journey (CREDIT: Mission Safe Ocean)
