Mikey is still in Morocco. Michael February recently released part two of his series of edits from a recent trip to North Africa. Dubbed MOROCCO (SIDE B), the film features the boundary breaking South African’s inimitable style in enviable Atlantic surf.
The trip came during a big year for February. In July, he was the subject of a heartfelt and introspective New York Times-produced profile that examined his personal history, from growing up in post-apartheid South Africa to becoming the first black South African surfer on the Championship Tour. More recently, he was living it up in the Maldives, facing off against Taj Burrow in “the world’s most luxurious surfing event.” With this Morocco series, he finds yet another unique canvas for his signature style.
The video is the second of three installments. Part one released last Tuesday and part three will drop next week. The film was produced by February’s company, Spearhead Unlimited, and directed by Ian Thurtell.
