Jessé Mendes finding perfection somewhere in Chile
"We had about a month's worth of space in our schedule and a ton of destinations to choose from. We ended up choosing what you're about to see," the authors say.
"Provecho started with the desire of two not so young guys (Bruno and I) to get perfect waves in a remote location, away from the hustle and bustle and crowds of the tours, to go and enjoy the simplicity of a surf trip. Without a schedule, without many people around, get a perfect and empty lineup, eat good food and make memories.
"Provecho" means to enjoy, to take advantage of, to benefit from and, in this case, to take advantage of an opportunity. We had a space of about a month in our schedule and an endless number of destinations to choose from. We ended up choosing what you are about to see and yes, we took advantage of that moment and enjoyed another trip to remember. I hope you enjoy it too," say Jessé Mendes and Bruno Zanin, authors of this film about the same.
If they valued the waves of Chile more than those of the rest of the world, they chose to go there.
