Check out the edit of 13 year old, super stoked Hughie Vaughan as he threads slabs, punts and puts in a good play for being an up and coming legend of the line-up. The future of surfing is in safe hands, thanks Hughie.
In 1968 Julio Villar began a four years trip on board a small sailboat. He recorded his experiences in a journal that he turned into a book called “Eh petrel! Cuaderno de un navegante solitario”. Inspired by this diary, surfer Kepa Acero set out on a journey in search of a lonely wave. During his path, he leaves behind his fear of the unknown and social constraints to fit in with the wild environment and the remote island inhabitants.
“Nowhere” illustrates the traveler’s soult hrough Julio Villar’s words and Kepa Acero’s experiences.
There is such beauty in Acero’s solo surf trips. What he does, he does for himself and the joys of exploring unknown roads that mother nature lays before him. Stunning cinematography, great mindfulness for the grey matter during these difficult times. When that dreamy left appears 8 minutes in, ay caramba! Happy sailing.
“I’ve always loved water, from swimming pools to lakes to the ocean. I learned how to surf around the age of 13, and really started going out regularly on my own around age 15, after that point I was hooked, I remember my first surfboard I found in a dumpster at La Jolla Shores. I took it home and had my brother help me fix it up and we painted it. My little sisters still have that board to this day which is pretty rad”. Tessa Timmons
