180 degrees South

A couple of recent surf movies from the Moonshine Conspiracy guys have had the trailer for 180 degrees South on them, and it is coming out Spring 2010. It's about a trip from Cali to Chile, mostly by boat. The Tin Shed at the Patagonia website has an audio slide show, which is amazing. The website uses Flash so is annoying and I can't link to it very well, but it's pretty easy to figure out -- click on the 180 degrees South poster. I screen grabbed 3 of the images, they are all by Jeff Johnson. His book 'Bend to Baja' is also pretty epic.

There's also a separate website for the movie. The 'journey' section has some nice footage from the 2007 trip, but also from the 1968 trip which inspired it. The '68 trip involved Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins (founder of the North Face) and friends, they drove a van from Cali to Chile, to climb down there. YC mentions in the 'crew' section that after the trip he wanted to make clothes that would work on serious mountains, and the name 'Patagonia' came out of that trip for obvious reasons. This image is from the 'downloads' section, it's epic at full size:
