Friends of Puerto Escondido
This group is for surfers that make the annual pilgrimage to Playa Zicatela. No matter how great of a surfer you are, your skills will be tested at this heavy break. This is also one of the nicest, preserved destinations in the world. The locals are cool, very supportive, and now showing us gringos that they know their wave better than most. Join in on the discussion and share your photos, stories and smiles from your experience at Puerto.

16mm Surf Film Appreciation
Those of us with an appreciation for film-making and surfing know that there is a huge difference between surf movies made with film and those made with video. The purpose of this group is to gather people who share this common appreciation and affinity to share thoughts, ideas, opinions and perspectives on the best films out there.
