Return To El Guayas 32 minutes
2 time National Geographic Adventurer of the year and award winning film maker Ben Stookesberry joins up with Red Bull paddler Rafa Ortiz and long-time expedition kayaker Lane Jacobs to attempt the first descent of one of Colombia’s wildest rivers: El Rio Guayas. Ben, Lane, and Frenchman Jules Domine previously attempted the river in 2017 but hiked out of the remote river 3 days in because of high water and concerns about the security of this area known for it's history of armed conflict. This time around Ben, Lane, and Rafa reach the river with a perfect flow and perfect weather. In the middle of the night 2 rain pours down, leaving the team stranded in the most remote portion of the canyon. With rumors of armed groups in mind, they paddle into the now flooded unknown river.

This documentary shows the lifestyle of the Surf Island Family, a family of surfers-adventurers with an atypical, intriguing and inspiring lifestyle. Half-time teachers in France, they travel the world the second half of the year. When they are asked what they are looking for on these trips, they answer: "We travel to surf as a family and to meet other cultures. We travel to live our dream of a simple life far from the overconsumption. We travel to discover other people. And to discover ourselves. We have to manage with half as much income, but at least we have time. A lot of time." In this 52 minute documentary, we join them on an adventure in Indonesia where, as usual with travel, nothing goes as planned . Then, the trip deviates to a completely different destination... Let’s go to Ireland !
