The Red Island (Trailer) – Searching for Waves in Madagascar with Kepa, Natxo & Miguel Blanco

Madagascar is packing 6,000 km of coastline—pretty much a dream playground for wave hunters. Basque surfer Kepa Acero had heard plenty of stories about empty lineups, perfect peeling waves, and reefs that can handle serious size. So when a solid swell popped up on the charts in summer 2024, he made the call with two full-send chargers—his basque buddy Natxo Gonzalez and Portuguese ripper Miguel Blanco. With the help of surf pioneer Blair Rogers, they scored dreamy waves and soaked up a culture just as rich as the surf.

Produced by OXBOW and directed by Jon Aspuru, The Red Island (20 min) captures their adventure.

A DREAM COME TRUE · NATXO GONZALEZ

This is the story of a young man who started with the classic surfing career. After Surfing his first big waves and pulling into big barrel and through the inspiration that is his good friend Kepa Acero, he found his passion for the exploration and the discovery.
Four years ago he found an area on google maps that looked like it had great potential. After waiting for a long time the charts finally revealed a swell that was traveling thousands of kilometres across the ocean and he knew that this was his opportunity.
Arriving in the fading light of the first day, the waves were small but looked perfect. But doubts remained: was the wave too fast? The next day all questions were answered, all the dreams and expectations were about to come real...
