Watch: Only The Best Waves From EAST With Mikey February

Click here to watch the entire series of EAST With Mikey February

Our EAST series with Mikey February spanned across 2 continents, 7 months, and 17 surfboards.

All of that was eventually whittled down to 5 episodes with 223 minutes of airtime. Each episode had at least seven separate sessions. That’s a lot of surfing. 

With this video, we decided to condense this all down to its purest form. 11 minutes of the very best waves Mikey rode throughout the series. 

Unlike many professional surfers, Mikey’s set-wave magnetism doesn’t derive from his aggression or high-intensity in the water. In fact, in every single session I witnessed during the filming of this project, he paddled out the back, dropped anchor, and just waited. 

And, at Malibu, Lowers, Rocky Point, Steamer Lane, or any other number of tightly packed, notoriously frustrating lineups, Mikey always found himself on the best waves (without being a prick). 

How?

Well, as Jimmy Wilson noted on one of our recent Instagram posts, ‘he’s one of the best paddlers ever.’

Standing at 6’3 with an even longer wingspan, Mikey doesn’t miss waves. If he decides he wants to catch a lump of incoming energy, there are few humans who could out-motor him for it (or look as relaxed while they’re doing it).
