NO QUESTION OF AGE

While most of us hang out on Zwift or hit the ski resorts in winter, surfing legends Herbie and Nathan Fletcher took a surf trip to Baja. In their short film "Peninsula South," the two discuss their father-son relationship and how their own life paths have influenced and inspired each other.

For "Peninsula South," director Riley Blakeway accompanied the Fletcher team to the locations of Herbie Fletcher's early adventures. The road trip quickly turns into a journey into the past, back to the roots of his first surfing adventures in the late 1960s. The Baja Peninsula reveals itself as a capricious surf spot with great waves but difficult conditions. Far from the embarrassing hang-loose tourism and cliché-laden romanticism of surf life, Blakeway's film shows us the emotional aspects of surfing – and how Herbie Fletcher has managed to maintain his childlike enthusiasm for what he loves to this day.

Accompanied by first-class music and great cinematography (some shots are strongly reminiscent of Brant Bjork's masterpiece "Sabbia"), "Peninsula South" is a powerful film that inspires and motivates on many different levels. Whether you're into surfing or not.
