With strong onshore winds whipping up powerful swells of 2.5 to 3m nearly every day, the conditions were both challenging and breathtaking. A handful of dedicated local surfers braved the winter chill to score some serious kegs.
Southern Roads is a surf and adventure film which takes you on a 3 months off-road journey, along the Moroccan coast and into the great deserts of the Sahara. Follow surfer and shaper Paul Duvignau at search for waves and desert landscapes, traveling the Atlantic coast aboard a prepared 4WD, crossing one of the most beautiful and diverse regions of West Africa.

After a mammoth year competing on the Championship Tour and a podium finish at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the 3x World Surfing Champion has well and truly earned his off season. Putting the competition rashie aside, Gabe takes a more playful approach to surfing, embracing new cultures and riding (in his own words) “the best wave I’ve ever surfed”.
