A film by Now Now Media presented by Monster Energy In association with O’Neill
Chasing the Unicorn traces the history of surfing in post-war Mozambique while searching for a mythical sand-bottomed wave along this tropical slice of East Africa. Along the way, we meet Sung Min Cho and Julia Fernando, the country’s leading surfers, and get acquainted with Mozambique’s burgeoning surf culture that has risen in the wake of 30 years of armed conflict. Set to a soundtrack infused with Afrobeat and driving rhythms, Chasing the Unicorn is an ode to old-school adventure and a young surfing nation on the rise.
The movie is available on youtube, featuring: Sung Min Cho, Julia Fernando, Eli Beukes, Brendon Gibbens, Jordy Smith, Mikey February and others. Duration: 33 minutes
