The El Gringo documentary has a release date
The pioneer of South American Pipe was sought, found and interviewed in “El Diario del Gringo” and an eternal mystery was finally revealed
One of the most promising documentaries in the history of Latin American surfing, El diario del gringo, will premiere on November 18 at the Nescafé de las Artes theater in Santiago, Chile.
Rodrigo Farías Moreno, director of several surfing films in Chile, a class filmmaker with patented sensitivity and exquisite photography, first campaigned to find the gringo who gave his name to the wave on the former Alacrán Island, found him, traveled to look for him and found him.
The gringo's enigma was discovered.

The mystery still remains for those who are fans of the subject because in the trailer that was published a few weeks ago he is not seen, it is not known if he is a famous surfer.
It is known that he had the ability to surf those waves “that looked like Pipe” without anyone else and with boards from the seventies.
It is known that he is indeed a gringo and that Rodrigo found him.
Ramón Navarro, Magoo de la Rosa, Álvaro Abarca and several other legendary figures appear, telling their experiences.
And of course, the gringo shows up. Or at least, that's what everyone expects.
The film's director describes it as follows: “El Diario del Gringo is a documentary that brings to life the story of three Californian surfers who, in 1977, accidentally discovered a perfect wave in Chile, known today as “El Gringo”. This dangerous and mythical wave can only be conquered by the best. Thirty years later, in 2007, “El Gringo” achieved worldwide fame during a surfing championship, but the identity of the original surfers remained a mystery. Thanks to the research of Chilean documentary filmmaker Rodrigo Farías Moreno, he managed to find them in 2019.
“El Diario de El Gringo” takes us back to that wave, exploring not only its impact on the city of Arica, but also the link between local culture and surfing. With striking images and never-before-told stories, this documentary is an ode to adventure, waves and myths that endure over time.
