About this title
The Red Island is a captivating short documentary that chronicles the surf expedition of Basque surfers Kepa Acero and Natxo González, alongside Portuguese surfer Miguel Blanco, as they embark on a journey to Madagascar in search of pristine waves. With its 6,000 km of coastline, Madagascar offers an uncharted paradise for wave hunters. Guided by surf pioneer Blair Rogers, the trio discovers not only perfect peeling waves and resilient reefs but also immerses themselves in the rich local culture. Directed by Jon Aspuru and produced by Oxbow, this 20-minute film captures the essence of adventure, camaraderie, and the deep connection between surfers and the ocean.
