Maneuver

Which one video would you highlight in this playlist and why?

I’d say I’d go with “Dancing in Dakar” purely based on the experience. We stumbled upon that wave in a little fishing village completely by chance. The session lasted less than an hour but to see that many kids appear over the space of a few minutes and hear the screaming, cheering and sheer joy and wonder of it all was something I’ll never forget.
