Surfboard tucked under his arm, Dery Setyawan sprints into waves.

德瑞.塞蒂亞旺用手臂夾著衝浪板,奮力衝向海浪。

It is not just a physical challenge but an emotional one - most of his family and friends were swept to their deaths when a tsunami sparked by 9.3 magnitude quake killed more than 220,000 on December 26, 2004, with Indonesia the hardest stricken.

這不僅是身體上的挑戰,也是心靈上的,因為在2004年12月26日的海嘯中,他的多數親友都被沖向死亡。那場海嘯由芮氏規模9.3的地震引發,導致逾22萬人喪命,尤以印尼受創最重。

At his hometown Lampuuk, only 300 out of 7,000 residents survived. Setyawan remembers the water crashing into his home, dragging him some 200 meters till he hit some debris and clung on for his life.

在他的家鄉蘭普克,7000名居民中僅300人生還。塞蒂亞旺記得海水沖進他家,把他沖到約200公尺外,直到他撞上並抓住破瓦殘礫才存活下來。

In years following, the surviving residents were fearful of the water. But after the first anniversary of the disaster, Setyawan decided to face his fears. "Waves from the beach are our friends, the ones that killed people during the tsunami were from the deep ocean." he depicts.

後來幾年,倖存者都害怕海水。但在災難一週年後,塞蒂亞旺決定面對恐懼。他形容:「海岸的浪是我們的朋友,在那場海嘯中殺死人們的是來自深海的浪。」

Now a professional surfer, he has competed in international and domestic competitions, and aims to transform the shores from a place of despair to one of hope.(AFP)

他現在是專業衝浪者,會參加國內外比賽,並且打算把發生災難的海岸,從絕望之地改造成希望之域。(法新社)
