Having been born and raised in Perú and surfed since 1966, I have watched and read everyting that is about surfing in Perú. This film is great, cinematography and the surfing was awsome. Listen to what Magoo de la Rosa says, you will lern about our surfing culture. I was also happy to see that these surfers also went to visit Machu Pichu, they did what all surfer’s should do. Not only does Perú have waves every day of the year (never a flat day)all through the coast line, but it is rich in culture.
The surf community loves to show off our country, so surfers are always welcomed.

I am not a surfer, and I’ve never really been interested in surfing… but my boyfriend grew up in Hawaii and loves it. So he introduced me to this film. Not only is it very artistic, it’s also a really beautiful journey through a really amazing place: Peru. The music is awesome, the film is thoughtful, and the passion of each surfer completely resonates. The whole documentary has this kind of calmness to it. It captures the wonder and also sometimes the desolateness that exists in Peru. And the whole film itself is very relaxing somehow. It’s more about Peru than surfing.
And girls: the surfers are also really hot.

Just watched it for the first time and now I have to watch it again just to catch a better look at the shots! Great cinematography and great music. Only thing I found that I didn’t like was the closing credits. They are a bit blurry and I had to freeze frame them to read the song credits. I loved the song ‘Sweet and Lonely’ and was able to find find it on the net at I-tunes under Nathan Paine. Time to go check out some of the other artists who’s tunes are in this movie. If you surf or just dig great surfers doing what they do best just buy it….

This is more than a surf flick; it’s a real movie in the tradition of other Brown family members’ work (Endless Summer, Step Into Liquid). I would put it into the travel/adventure genre and on the DVD there’s a bonus documentary of the filming of the movie. Both would appeal to anyone who has been to Peru or is contemplating a trip there. It even includes the obligatory trip to Machu Picchu. If you’re a surfer and want nothing but non-stop cutbacks, floaters, backside hacks and the occasional aerial, try Hit & Run by Taylor Steele. I can dig it but for a film to show your non-surfing friends without boring them to death – that has all that and a lot more – check this out.
