I took this picture over the weekend along East Coast Park. Two Malay youths were using their basic surf boards to surf what little waves that could come their way. It was an amazing show of perseverance. Singapore isn't exactly surfer paradise, but these boys made do. they dashed into the water, surfed a 0.3m wave for 5m, then splashed spectacularly back into the water. It didn't matter the waves were small. Important thing was that they had a whale of a time. It was a powerful demonstration of an unflappable desire to have fun at whatever costs and with whatever little. Bring back the kampong fun!
