United by blood and sea. The brothers Nacho and Paolo establish a powerful vital bond that is expressed in their passion for surfing. Everything that these riders are for each other finds its place on the board: pioneer and follower, mentor and student, order and temperament. Adult and kid.

Blood Brothers shows us the strength of the fraternal bond at the point where Paolo begins to make his own direction, style and decisions. Bound by an "invention" in which both are the other's emotional lifeline.

Directed by Diego Borges, and shot by Arturo Loustau in Tenerife, Spain, “Blood Brothers” documents the special bond between two brothers, their love for surf and the island they call home.

Born and raised in Playa las Americas, young surfer and junior champion of Spain, Paolo Giorgi and his half-brother and trainer Nacho Sebastia detail their complex relationship and their shared passion for the sport in this visually stunning short film.

“Blood Brothers” premiered at the 2020 Canarias Surf Film Festival, received an honorary mention for “best surfing” at the 2020 Swiss Surf Festival, and offers an intimate view of some of the best local surfing Tenerife has to offer.

“Never in my life I thought I would be surfing with snow on the beach“ States the balinese surfer Marlon Gerber, as he enters the icy beach in the Arctic North of Norway. He is here to visit Scandinavian surfer Tim Latte and experience the other side of surfing. The cold side. No palm trees. No coconuts. No board shorts. It ́s a clash of climates.

The special weather conditions in Lofoten were sometimes quite challenging for both the surfers and the media team. The filmmakers of El Flamingo and photographer Sebi Drews spent two weeks in February 2019 inside and outside the water to capture this story.
