I am, what can be called a "soul surfer."
always had in mind to do a sort of documentary film about the soul surfing. Surfing is not about skills, trade mark, or music accelerated or rock, or video ... Doing it in 16mm on film.
Pue and put me on that menu!. I just got back from Costa Rica !!!!... I spent 10 days shooting in 4 of the best beaches. For those who do not know, Costa Rica is the Latin Hawaii, with some impressive waves, and the beach with the second wave and the planet looooong: Pavones!.
I got on a plane, and I started with Ivan Herrera and filmed the people, people, art ... The feeling in general. And surfing the waves in retro style. Retro tables and good waves.
We shot for 10 days in 16mm and super 8mm. But places are amazing men!
First, we traveled 6 hours by car from San Jose, to a village on the border Panama, the Caribbean, called Puerto Viejo. Rasta, totally. Jamaican. They speak a mixture of English and Creole, and English dragged. But suuuuper rasta roots. The town is known for its beach, SALSA BRAVA, the pipeline of the Caribbean. We became buddies in the local Rastas, and even filmed one of them sang and improvised, in a bar.
then boarded the North Pacific, 8 hours away. A Tamarindo. That was icreible, because we arrived at night, and took us to sleep on a fishing boat which went to the beach and drive 2 hours walking in the sea, dolphins and turtles, up to a bay. The night was starry and moon!! incredible. The sea was a plate. Sleep at the top, watching the sky, and the sound of waves on the coast rompienso and dolphins play. Occasionally whales could be heard throwing water! In the morning, we were already in Witches Rock, a beach in a national park. With waves hermoooosaassss!. The ship's captain became our character in this episode and that turned out to be surfed!. And filammos driving his boat and surfing with us.
When we were going to the beach, back to town, 4 humpback whales were next to the boat!! less than 10 meters gentlemen! and the large male, felt threatened by the boat and began to rotate on its belly and lift the tail, and the boat was moving the Masooa! jajajjajajaja ... when they sprayed the spray sometimes befallen us spray (crates, but pingaaa) ... to see these creatures sisters of us, and turtles and dolphins, made me change muuucho men in relation to our planet and the ecosystem. I think I will join Greenpeace and try to do something men, it is !!!!! ke
then sailed to Pavones, South Pacific. A 9 hours of wheels.
many landscapes ... Volcano, rain forest, monkeys, anteaters, sloths!! Toucans fly in groups! ... A paradise. We arrived in Pavones
the next day, and we have a hippie town. The phone came to 2 years, nothing more, and electricity arrived in 1998 !!!... hippie hippie village. And the second longest on the planet!
Wow! I merged!
If one day decide to surf, and surf make the respective surfo tripp everything you do in your life, go to Costa Rica.
then when I finished the movie, you will see that most of pingaaa vain!
Taba.
