Singular Soul with Jose Plaza
Episode 117
Friday, 17 April, 2026

Born and raised in Punta Hermosa, Peru, José Plaza grew up steeped in surf culture — his father Miguel was a pioneer wave rider in Peru and Hawaii during the 1960s, befriending legends like Eddie Aikau and Greg Noll. That legacy pushed José into the water early and eventually behind the camera. After a chance encounter with filmmaker Wes Brown deep in the Peruvian jungle, José transitioned into filmmaking, starting with surf films featuring top Peruvian athletes. Today, he documents the raw beauty of Peruvian surfing, blending insider knowledge with a filmmaker's eye. And he share some incredible stories with Kevin Miller and John Brooks. Enjoy.
