It ain’t broke, and there’s no need to fix it. Mikey February’s tube-to-turn combos featured in the clip below are the opposite of broken. They’re in great shape. His board comes out of the barrel like a sword from its sheath, and Mikey stabs the next section with the entirety of the blade. His latest offering to the internet comes from the recent run of south swell that marched up the Americas last week, sending long dormant points like this one into overdrive.
