We’ve been tracking this continent’s surf hubs for some time, zoning in on Morocco’sTaghazout and connecting with South Africa’s Mami Wata crew. Based in Cape Town, the dynamic surf-gear brand has been mapping out the best breaks and has now crowdfunded a book to document this evolving scene for the first time.
AfroSurf pulls together photographs, artwork and accounts from more than 15 African countries, acknowledging the rise of female surfers and talking to names from Senegal, KwaZulu-Natal, Sierra Leone and Somalia. ‘One of my favourite profiles is of Sidiq Banda, an entrepreneur and herbalist who rides the waves all over Ghana’s coastline. He’s a late bloomer but is enthusiastic about the sport and brings good vibes,’ says Mami Wata’s Nick Dutton. ‘The continent is so diverse that there are no rules or limitations. People can own it in creative, cultural and often unpredictable ways.’

As Black History Month continues, we want to highlight Black-owned businesses. First, we started with artisans who focus on products that support health and wellness (Black Canadian artisans who sell a little bit of zen).
Now we’re looking at sellers who feature products for our homes. Enjoying our living space has never been more important than now, during a pandemic, where we find ourselves spending so much time. Spruce up your space while supporting these artistic small-business owners.
