Ghana eyes surfing to boost tourism numbers

Brett Davies paced up and down the sloping sands of Kokrobite beach in Ghana, organising surfers from 20 different countries at his annual international competition. "The greatest thing about surfing in Ghana is that we have uncrowded world-class waves that appeal to the beginner and intermediate market," he told AFP. Now he, too, wants to see Ghana become a surfing destination in its own right -- and one day represent the West African nation at overseas competitions.
