In this episode of What Shapes Us, Selema Masekela sits down with South African surfer and creative soul Mikey February (@mikeyfebruary) for a conversation about carving your own path—on and off the board.
From competitive circuits to free-surfing liberation, Mikey opens up about how music, community, and his Cape Town roots have shaped his fluid style and global perspective. The two explore how Mikey redefined success in surfing by stepping away from the rigid structure of contests, embracing his role as a cultural connector, and allowing intuition and joy to guide his work.
Expect stories of purpose-driven travel, soul-infused style, and reflections on what it means to create movement—through art, water, and life.
