Transcending Waves

A 22-month anthropological expedition to the African continent with the 'Gauchos del Mar' brothers traveling in a 1985-model military ambulance from Spain to South Africa. The objective is to encourage human relationships through an unprecedented surfing exploration, promoting cultural exchange in this vast and diverse continent.

One Dream, Two Brothers, One continent. Two brothers follow their dream of surfing the American Pacific showing the Continent as a whole, through its different cultures, villages, food, people, animals and landscapes while camping and surfing on their way back home to Argentina.

The 'Gauchos del Mar' brothers pursue their goal of surfing at the Isla de los Estados. They wander the Patagonia for six months, sharing their experiences with the locals, getting to know their ways. They face hard weather conditions before getting to Ushuaia and later they sail through the Beagle Channel and the Strait of Le Maire on their way to the uninhabited island.

A 22-month anthropological expedition to the African continent. The 'Gauchos del Mar' Azulay brothers travel in a 1985-model military ambulance from Spain to South Africa. The objective is to encourage human relationships through an unprecedented surfing exploration, promoting cultural exchange in this vast and diverse continent.

Vast, wild, yet extremely fragile. The coldest place on our planet is also one of the most affected by global warming and needs to be protected. The expedition focuses on exploring, documenting, and surfing in the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, in the area known as Domain 1, which is being pushed for Marine Protected Area (MPA) status. Protected areas are very important for mitigating climate change and, in this case, also for regulating human activities such as concentrated fishing. This film helps us understand the importance of this area and the threats affecting it.
