Description
African surf culture is celebrated in this vibrant collection of profiles, essays, photographs, and illustrations. AFROSURF brings together the work of Mami Wata, a Cape Town surf company, and some of Africa's finest photographers, thinkers, writers, and surfers to explore the unique culture of eighteen coastal countries.
Featuring over fifty essays, the book showcases surfer and skater profiles, thought pieces, poems, photos, illustrations, ephemera, recipes, and a mini comic, all wrapped in an astounding design that captures the diversity and character of Africa.
Proceeds from the book's sales support two African surf therapy organizations, Waves for Change and Surfers Not Street Children, furthering Mami Wata's mission to strengthen local economies through surf tourism.
