The cast of modern gypsies features Mick Fanning, Rob Machado, Tonino Benson, Ben Bourgeois, Mike Losness and many more. New Reef team rider, Alana Blanchard, will also make some cameos, as well as Miss Reef. The film is directed and edited by Russell Brownley, a talented new face within the world of surf cinematography.

Cancer to Capricorn: The Path of the Modern Gypsy was shot exclusively around locations that fall within the Tropic of Cancer & the Tropic of Capricorn. With the help of Surfline’s staff of surf forecasters, Reef was able to pin point the best time to send out a team of athletes to score what is considered to be surfing perfection.

Outside the water it was all about living the dream, the beautiful women and the cultures they would come face to face with. Behind the Reef team was a renowned crew of videographers, photographers, and creative minds capturing this series of journeys.

At the end of the day, the Reef team never really calls one place home. Their home is on the road, in an airplane, and on a boat traveling to exotic locations in search of new experiences and perfect surf. Their goal is to inspire the surfer within all of us. This is the path of the Modern Gypsy.
