From Josh Pomer, the award-winning director of The Westsiders comes Aqua Luna. The oldest mummies in the world are from Chile. So are some of the sickest waves. In this followup to Absolute Mexico, director Josh Pomer trains his eye on surfing the Chilean coast. Along for the ride are some of the best surfers in the world. The crew scores a perfect reef that breaks in both directions. Joel Parkinson steals the show with his standup no grab backside tubes.

Aqua Luna has an all-star cast of interviews that brings us the unique perspective of the surfers featured.
