180 SOUTH TRAILER BY WOODSHED FILMS from mesurf on Vimeo.

180 South follows a new generation of climbers and surfers retracing the footsteps of Yvon Chouinard’s infamous road trip from California to Patagonia, which eventually became the inspiration for Yvon and Doug Tompkins to start the Patagonia Land Trust, an organization that has been able to protect and conserve over 2 million acres of Chile’s wildlands by creating several new national parks. The Patagonia Land Trust has created a progressive and innovative model for national parks around the world. Jimmy Chin traveled to Chile in the Spring of 2007 and filmed many of the mountain and climbing scenes for the film.

Keep an eye out for a 180 South tour showing near you.
