Description

Discover the untold story of African surf culture in this glorious and colorful collection of profiles, essays, photographs, and illustrations. AFROSURF is the first book to capture and celebrate the surfing culture of Africa. This unprecedented collection is compiled by Mami Wata, a Cape Town surf company that fiercely believes in the power of African surf. Mami Wata brings together its co-founder Selema Masekela and some of Africa's finest photographers, thinkers, writers, and surfers to explore the unique culture of eighteen coastal countries, from Morocco to Somalia, Mozambique, South Africa, and beyond. Packed with over fifty essays, AFROSURF features 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. A creative force of good in their continent, Mami Wata sources and manufactures all their wares in Africa and works with communities to strengthen local economies through surf tourism. With this mission in mind, Mami Wata is donating 100% of their proceeds to support two African surf therapy organizations, Waves for Change and Surfers Not Street Children. Read more

    • AfroSurf is spectacular!!

This book is amazing! Anyone who is a surfer or is interested in surfing or surfing history, I recommend you buy this book! Packed with photos, art, short stories, histories etc. I just love the name “AfroSurf” . I feel like it’s one of the first books that concentrates on surfing in the Mother land. Most books and documentaries, they focus on the ancient Polynesians/ Hawaiians. What they don’t say is that surfing was developed in other parts of the world as well. Polynesians, Africans and The Incas all developed their own style of surfing, at different times, without any outside influences. It reminds me of the phrase “great minds think alike”! I haven’t read it thru yet but so far it’s been pretty captivating. Definitely my new favorite book! Well done Mami Wata! And all the photographers, editors, everyone that helped to create this book!! Thank you !!! ... show more

    • This is more than a book, it's a beautiful object to behold
Format: Hardcover
I was looking forward to this book from online previews but they can't do it justice. It's a hefty book with one of the best covers I've seen in a long time. And you CAN judge this one by its cover. It maps out the African continent from a surfer's perspective but also shows the promise of the place, often so lacking in media coverage. A sense of promise comes with this book, and the people featured love Africa and its traditions and are optimistic for its future. The photographs and the graphic design are excellent. I'd highly recommend this to all fans of surfing photography but would go further and recommend it to anyone with an eye for beauty and adventure. ... show more

    • Beautiful book
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book! I love that I found a book about African surfers. I was researching for books on Afro-Latino American Nick Gabaldón for my son’s Santa Monica Black History project and Afrosurf popped up as a recommendation. The graphic design, typography, and photography is beautiful. The information about African surf culture is fantastic and the vignettes on the surfers (all genders) is inspiring for all. I like this book so much that I bought 3 copies. One for the shelf, one for my children’s school library and another to cut up and frame. My 9 y.o. wanted some of the images in his bedroom. ... show more

This book is unrivaled in its approach and execution of such a subculture as surfing in Africa. We truly enjoy both the art and design of the book and the content about the people, their culture, and journeys. Must have!

This is an outstanding book. A real work of art. It's big, printed on high quality paper, with vibrant colors and outstanding graphic design. Don't couch surf this on Kindle. Buy the physical book. It's a visual and tactile experience- like real surfing :D
