AFROSURF is a celebration of surfing in Africa and African surfers who are no longer looking outwards to the West to define surf culture, but taking inspiration from their own people, their own countries, and their own cultures.
The California music scene is a perfect reflection of the environment it's made in. It’s bright, warm and fuzzy, and has a certain swagger to it that makes you walk with a spring in your step. There’s an air of optimism that’s always present-like eternal sunshine. This month’s playlist is a mixtape full of California artists who capture that stay stoked mentality. Hopefully it keeps you stoked as the weather warms up.
The spring season is a wonderful catalyst for starting anew. But with all this SUP preparation and dreaming and planning, don’t forget to just get out there and do it. Shake off those cobwebs and get your board out of the garage. Take advantage of the quieter days before the summer rush. Breathe in the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun, as you once again dig your paddle in the clear waters. It’s time to celebrate! Spring is here and your SUP season has begun.

A surf club on the Northern Shores of Lake Superior
The whole point of starting the Greats Lakes Surfing Club here at Lakehead University was to create a community for students who surf in Thunder Bay and the surrounding area. A group of us who had been surfing on the lake for about a year came up with the idea with the simple goal of receiving funding from the school that would go towards getting gear for the club that we would make available to all club members that wanted to learn how to surf, can’t afford their own gear, or simply don’t know where to start.
This month’s playlist is designed to help you get into a flow state. Ambient, mid-tempo, and groove centric sounds that will blend into each other and essentially become background noise the deeper you get. Be at peace with your thoughts, create without hesitation, or push yourself to accomplish something new.
