Siestas & Olas

Join in on a Mexican endless summer, where time is well utilised, seeking and finding waves on the Baja peninsula and the mainland Mexican coast.
For Tom Wegener, Josh Farberow, Marc Kavanagh, and special visitor, Joel Tudor, a 90-day visa is used to full effect.
Director Dan Wozniak (Ten Toes Over) narrates in fine “Endless Summer” style.
This is a well paced film of long and short boarding, including a huge variety of waves, from Matachen Bay’s five minute rides, to a left handed copy of Malibu and a pumping 20 - 60 foot wave at Petacalco.
However, its Joel Tudors section at pumping Mexican pipe, that he described as “my best barrel session ever”, that really steps the film up a gear.
The interweaving of Mexicali and surf music kept this an enjoyable and watchable film. It made me want to save up the money and go get my share of warm and uncrowded waves.
Best to watch: On those days when you don’t know which board to take out, or when you’re just chilling
Running time: 90 minutes.
Rating: 7.5/10
