From the Tony Roberts Archives: Peru in the 1990s with the O'Neill team (and a few more)
Unseen images with: Cory Lopez, Chris Ward, Pat O'Connell, Chris Gallagher, Adam Replogle, Conan Hayes and Shea Lopez among others
Legendary filmmaker Tony Roberts dusted off some old tapes from a trip to Peru in the 1990s and published them yesterday.
They cover some waves in northern Peru and then return to Lima to compete in the Punta Rocas QS, which had perfect waves and an incredible crowd.
"Join us as we embark on an unforgettable surf trip to Peru, the birthplace of wave riding! Experience epic left-hand breaks and soak in cherished memories spent with friends, just enjoying magical moments together in a special place we'll never forget. Team O'neill riders are joined by their fellow WCT ASP Tour warriors 'Qs, some of the best surfers in South and North America before the Brazilian storm hit. With classic Super 8 footage and cheesy narration, TR takes a page out of Bruce Brown's book for this surf travelogue of a Nat Geo Explorer-style adventure, filled with the beautiful women and unique landscapes of this remote paradise," says Tony on his Real Surf Stories channel.
