I didn’t see myself traveling to West Africa before the Roark Revival crew invited me. It seemed too far, too disease-ridden and too dangerous. But when the itinerary was thrown on my lap, I vaccinated and went. For the next week we surfed, rode camels, ate seafood and spoke in broken French. Everything went smoothly and I left the country wanting more.

I was walking through a Rasta woodcarving village and heard some hoots from above me.
