Scott Hulet is the longtime, formative editor of The Surfer’s Journal, a magazine focused on the art and adventure of surfing rather than its klieg-lit industry. Flow Violento is a collection of his pieces from around Latin America, and the title derives from a phrase in Cuban slang that translates, roughly, to “amazing style.”
We talk about surfing Ecuador, about “Shipwrecks” in northern Baja, about a remote island off the coast of Nayarit which has both surf and fish, and about the romance of Mexico in the mid-20th century, when The Night of the Iguana was written and filmed in Puerto Vallarta.
