Transcending Waves

View on the Pragda STREAM site

The Gauchos del Mar brothers set out to explore the Falkland Islands, an archipelago of more than 700 islands, with the aim of building bridges through sport and nature. In the aftermath of the 1982 war, the islands remain a deeply sensitive subject, and this project seeks to promote a message of equality, dialogue, and peace.

Over the course of a 50-day expedition, the brothers share cultures and search for waves, exploring remote, uninhabited islands and discovering the region’s natural beauty. Along the way, they meet two local brothers who surf, and through sharing waves, they create a human connection, using surfing as a means to bring people closer and encourage understanding between communities.
