SURFING THE RED ISLAND
This African island is packing 6,000 km of coastline—pretty much a dream playground for wave hunters. Basque surfer Kepa Acero had heard plenty of stories about empty lineups, perfect peeling waves, and reefs that can handle serious size. So when a solid swell popped up on the charts, he made the call with two full-send chargers—his basque buddy Natxo Gonzalez and Portuguese ripper Miguel Blanco. Together, they scored dreamy waves and soaked up a culture just as rich as the surf. Directed by Jon Aspuru
