Description
Style master Mikey February joins us on the pod. Universally considered one of the most impactful surfers of his generation, Mikey dives into his unique approach to surfing and filmmaking, exploring projects like Sonic Souvenirs, Changing Tempo, and his latest collaboration with Channel Islands and his platform, Spearhead Unlimited, Spearfish. He shares insights into the creation of his new signature surfboard, Feb's Fish, and the history of the iconic fish design and its role in shaping modern surf culture. Mikey also reflects on his time competing on the World Tour and how transitioning to free surfing—with support from Vans—has opened up new creative avenues. We explore his South African roots, the vital role his parents played in his journey, and how his home, culture, and love for art and music inspire his work across the globe. Mikey opens up about fatherhood, the ways it has changed his perspective, and the excitement of welcoming a new child soon. He unveils a harrowing encounter in the water in our newest segment presented by Kraken Rum, Scary Stories of the Sea, before we wrap up with listener questions and The Lightning Round.
