Peru:Where Surfing is a Way of Life...
PEEL:THE PERU PROYECT
a T.J.Barrack & Wes Brown Film
"The Adventurous and Insightfull Spirit of the Endless Summer" Ross Garret:Surfing Magazine
Wes Brown and T.J.Barrack take us on-location to the beautiful waters of Peru where surfing is a way of life and surfers are worshipped as National Heroes.Filmed entirely on-location in the beautiful waters of Peru.Including an enchanted visit to Machu Picchu,this surf odyssey fuses unique cultural aspects and electrifying surf footage.
DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS:
The idea to make a film in Peru came about because we really wanted to create an old school feel for our next film.We wanted it to have the texture of a 60’s surf road trip,really down to the basics, exploring a new culture and new waves.
Wes had just read a book called Kon-Tiki which is the anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl's memoirs of his sea voyage from Peru to Tahiti.He theorized that surfing may have originated in Peru and been brought to the Polynesians.This very controversial yet intriguing idea sparked our interest in Peru and as we studied more about the country and its long surfing history we realized it would be the perfect place to embark on a rugged road trip exploration.
...we were very fortunate to have on our team a 7time Peruvian nat.surfing champion Magoo de la Rosa and Octopus.
Peru is a country full of dualities.As beautiful and mesmerizing as it is,it can also be dangerous and brutal if you're not prepared.It's also still very virgin in parts...Many of the waves we found were deep in the middle of nowhere,hidden along small nooks against the Pacific Ocean.Magoo took us to Cabo Blanco,the place where E.Hemingway wrote the Old Man and the Sea...
The town was simply magic and the wave was one of the best we found in the whole country and we had it all to ourselves
Featuring surfers:SOFIA MULANOVICH,MAGOO DE LA ROSA,RANDY BONDS,JESSE COLOMBO,MARK HEALEY,JAMIE STERLING
