An Appealing Reminder Of Why Mikey February Was On The CT

Typically associated with alternative craft, Mikey still rips the shit out of a performance thruster.

Did you forget that Mikey February, the rubber-limbed South African with luscious rotini for hair, once shared the Championship Tour with Kelly, Gabby, and John?

In this unfortunately abbreviated clip, Mikey reminds us of both how and why he earned himself a spot on surfing’s elite tour, with a radically gorgeous performance at the surfing world’s most forgiving canvas.

While we’ve become accustomed to seeing Mikey on twinnies, asyms, and all manner of alternative surf craft over the past year, it’s refreshing to see him hop back on an ol’ fashioned rip-stick and effortlessly tear the fuck out of head-high walls. 

You just can’t pigeon-hole the man!
