Armchair travel at its finest..
Having explored South Africa in episode one of Sonic Souvenirs, Vans pro Mikey February is inviting us on a journey through Côte d’Ivoire AKA THe Ivory Coast, exploring the sonic delights, local customs and culture, and (obvs) the waves. Filmed by Blake Myers, the second installment has pretty much cemented the series as our favourite in the make-us-insanely-jealous category…
“West Africa as a whole is such a beautiful area, but what is particularly exciting about the Ivory Coast is that a lot of it is undocumented and we were super excited to explore what this part of Africa has on offer,” Mikey said. “There is almost no modern influence on their surfing, so it is unlike most other places in the world that I’ve traveled to surf. From the outside looking in, you know it is only the beginning. The positive effect and endless opportunities that surfing can provide to the youth in these communities is really exciting.”
