BOARDRIDERS JAPAN Press release: October 23, 2024 ”MAHOROBA” Japan premiere of surf documentary movie by Natsumi Taoka and Nachos in Shibuya Just the two of them, photographed by Japan’s leading logger Natsumi Taoka and filmer Naoko Hara (commonly known as Nachos) The production documentary film “MAHOROBA” has been released. The film covers surfing around the world, starting with the Bilbao Surf Film Festival in Spain. It was screened at a film festival and finally premiered in Japan this fall. Although Japan is a small island nation, it still has hidden charms that have never been seen before. As the pandemic restricts free movement, we are reaffirming the beauty of the place where we were born and raised. This work follows the journey of Natsumi Taoka, a surfer who aims to become a world champion and faces challenges every day, and Nachos, an adventurous photographer. As they embark on a journey that resonates with the waves, what thoughts do they have and what discoveries await them? Only two people participated in this project as a crew. The story is set in the unexplored northern land of Japan, and the adventures that these girls take there are sure to captivate the hearts of viewers.
