Peel: The Peru Project - A Surf Odyssey

Nice mix of a documentary: surfing and traveling through Peru. Beautiful scenery. Real comments. Amazing music in the background. I was in awe of the surfing and humility & hospitality of the Peruvians. I was crushed to find out that there was no official soundtrack; found most of the sounds individually but not all.

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.

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.

Great movie, enjoyed the whole experience, from the music to the surf scenes the whole time watching was outstanding.

Good surfing and a nice account of the Peruvian culture. In the tradition of Endless Summer and Siestas and Olas. Overall, a quality surf film.

Great movie!

This video is a little different from the mainstream of the young guns series and whatnot. It goes into talking about the country of Peru itself and its history of the sport (which may surprise you). Of course there is amazing scenery and incredible beaches with no crowds that can just get you all sorts of excited, and then it shows a little more of the traveler/adventurer lifestyle of the surfers taking the trip.All and all, I really enjoy the video from the laid back music they play to the great surf they show. This is the perfect video after a long surf when all you want is to throw back a beer and take a nap with a video in the background. Enjoy!

Awesome surf flick, one of the better ones I've seen in a while.
