81. Mini Cho
Mini Cho is Mozambique's first pro surfer. A seed born of East and African tides where the winds of xenophobia pushed to the sun-kissed beaches of northern Mozambique. Surfing found him through wandering nomads, igniting a passion for activism and community. His sights may be set on the Olympics, but his definition of gold is to empower those around him. In the latest podcast episode, our guest delved into his deep relationship with the ocean, explored the vibrant concepts of Afro Surf Culture, shared practical tips on building skills to become a surfer, discussed the burgeoning surfing industry and its growth in Mozambique, and explained why Inhambane holds a special place in the hearts of surfers.

Still, it is precisely what Vinho did. Find out how it came to be and where this fantastic project is going directly from the horse's mouth.
