Surf Safari is a true story that follows a family into the 1960's
Latin America in search of adventure. As surfers, they clung to the
Pacific Coast of Mexico and Central America, often forced to travel
unmarked roads through dense jungles to lonely beaches. In addition
to braving unknown waters and unexpected travel hazards always
lurked as well - bandidos and armed soldiers of the ruthless
dictators in those third world nations. They survived a major
hurricane, an earthquake and drove through the middle of an ongoing
war. Several times they were stopped by armed soldiers, automatics
weapons pointed into the car until proved they were americans.
There was even a brush with the law, the boys and Land rover
arrested then released. another time they were held for several
days in El Salvador's main prison. few down there had ever seen
anyone surf the terrifying waves that crashed on their shores.
Entire villages came out to watch the boys surf waves they feared
and expected to see them eaten by sharks. When they emerged from
the ocean they were treated as local heros, surrounded by kids who
wanted to carry their boards and touch their shoulder length sun
bleached hair. after two years in Latin america the Blanchard
family moved to Hanalei, Kauai where Holt and Brad still live and
surf, including Holt's children. alana Blanchard, a top ten world
pro surfer, helped her father and brother save Bethany Hamilton's
life when attacked by a Tiger shark.
