What a holistic and incredibly produced part. Getting even more coverage of Gordo and his surfing is one thing but how A1 every bit of this movie was is incredible. The color coding, the compositions, the shots, the locations. Incredible. Kudos to the whole crew!

Beautiful film. El Gordo's a great longboarder with classic a drop-knee turns, effortless switch stance, and phenomenal hang time on the nose.
