With so much of the skateboarding world documented to death, the quest for virgin terrain always provides its own allure. So while Jaws, Dakota Servold, Yann Horowitz and Barney Page rocked up in West Africa primarily to learn about and share skate culture with Aziz Wone, Ibrahima Paye, Jonathan Riven and their friends, Red Bull also naturally took the chance to film some full-throttle hammers on the largely untouched skate spots they found along the way.

There are over 1.2b people living in Africa at the moment. With skateboarding reaching the ends of the earth, from northern Russia to the Maldives, Uruguay to the Galapagos Islands, it only makes sense that, with such a large population, Africa should boast some respectable skate scenes as well, right?
Red Bull partnered up with Luke Jackson of South Africa’s ever-excellent Session Skate Magazine and set sail with Barney Page, Aaron ‘Jaws’ Homoki, Dakota Servold and Yann Horowitz to explore some of these burgeoning scenes, enrolling Patrik Wallner behind the lens to document the experience for sharing.
