  • Our last episode here in South Africa is your classic tale of adventure, and like all good adventures, everything must go wrong in order for it to go right! In “Wamkilekile: The adventures of the Transkei” Koa and I take all kinds of twists and turns amongst the rugged terrain that's the “Wild Coast”. We find a giant sea cave and attempt to surf through it, run into ‪@Bloudam‬ and dove the murkiest-shakiest waters I’ve ever been in, and we meet an incredible local boy by the name of “Moush” who takes us around his home and introduces us to the village Sangoma, a witch doctor!!
    Thank you at Vulkani Back Packers and Swell Sco lodge for hosting us!
    Thank you, Koa Smith ( ‪@itskoasmith‬ ) for becoming my co-host haha.
    Thank you Cory Martin for being the best human and a fantastic DP

    Sam. I watched this video as a filmmaker in South Africa and my first thought was, sh*t, no one I know could tell this story better and do our country a better service than showcase where we are from like this. Thank you! Did you ever make it to a town called Knysna?

    Dude, I'm half way through and I am just in awe. I'm literally in college for film and this is better than 90% of the things the students are making. The sound design, the color correction, the editing, the audio quality, everything is top notch. So so impressed. This is Netflix level production and storytelling. Keep it up.

    the beauty captured during your adventures is so inspiring, and truly warms my heart. Thank you for the 18 mins of pure joy and contentment. It's really interesting because I am "American"...well on an application I have to mark "African American" even though I have no family ties to Africa as I know it. So, I noticed that while watching this, I have an endearment in my heart towards the locals but , I also share a strong connectivity to you and your team as well. Because as American's, we are one culture. I don't know if that makes sense, either way... all of it combined was pretty gnarly. Keep up the great work guys! It's perfection.
