Nixon brings together larger-than-life surf legends Herbie and Nathan Fletcher for a road trip down memory lane in a new short film entitled Peninsula South, where the father and son team head down to Baja and revisit some old haunts from previous adventures. Director Riley Blakeway captures Herbie’s pioneering spirit and the close-knit relationship he has built with his son Nathan as they set out on an expedition they’ve not made together in over twenty years, reignites both their love for Baja and their deep appreciation for one another. By the late 60s, Herbie had already begun exploring Baja in search of un-crowded lineups and adventure. As his life moved forward, he built a family who share his love of travel, and who have joined him countless times to explore the fickle southern peninsula. On this latest mission, Nathan discusses his father’s contagious, childlike enthusiasm for surfing and life, and shares how he hopes to pass those ideals down to the next Fletcher generation.

It takes little time, little observation to understand why Mexico is such an attractive place for surfers: 3 to 6ft glassy open faces, barreling sections, warm water… It was no surprise when Gaspard Larsonneur told us about his trip over there. Hailing from Quimper, France, the 19 year-old regular footer has been literally surfing every existing waves around the craggy coastline of Brittany, from the infamous La Torche all the way to the most remote and savagely protected secret spot.

What can we say about Jack? Well as it turns out, there’s a lot. First garnering large scale attention with his 2010 ASP Men’s World Junior Championship title, Jack humbly took it all in stride and attributed it to a “fluke”. Fast forward to 2016, and we know it was anything but a fluke. Jack has since gone on to take home a second ASP Junior Title and most recently qualified for the World Surf League (WSL). Jack represents the new guard from the Coolangatta area and you can expect that he...
