#28 Background's Sunday: Your Weekly Moment is Here!

New article at Background Mag!

July 13, 2025

Hey there,

Happy Sunday! Today is special for us, because we made a short film and it’s finally out!

This one’s close to our hearts. As you know, this magazine runs on love, energy, and the people who walk with us. We do it for the joy of it. And sometimes, that’s all it takes.

That same spirit flows through Lying In The Sunshine, where free surfer Pepe Rivas reflects on his journey through waves and life, revisiting the lessons of his past, the influence of his father, and the deeper meaning he's found in surfing beyond competition.

So that’s it. We invite you to watch our short film, and we hope you like it — and share it with your folks!

Thanks for being here. We’re truly grateful :)

Editor’s Pick

If you liked Lying in the Sunshine, here’s another film that hits a similar note.

In The Physics of Noseriding, Patagonia Films explores the grace, balance, and creativity behind one of surfing’s most poetic maneuvers. It’s a short film about movement and flow — but also about freedom, expression, and the deeper connection between a surfer and the wave.
