Bird’s Surf Shed Boardroom will play host to San Diego’s inaugural international San Diego Surf Film Festival. This year’s list of highly anticipated films and shorts is guaranteed to knock your board socks right off! This is the first “International” surf film festival to San Diego so you know they want to kick it off right!
The three day event will be held on May 11-13 and will feature about 15 films, over 20 shorts, with plenty of meet-n-greets and after parties. There will also be a beach clean-up and bodysurfing demo at La Jolla Shores.
This event is for everyone, and on Saturday there will be a surfboard shaper demo with live music, live art, and you can meet the film makers’ panel. All breeds of surfers are welcome to this eclectic world of surfing, music and art!
San Diego may not be the surf mecca of the world, but I would venture to say it is among the most influential. With many corporate headquarters for some of the biggest surf companies in the world based here, San Diego has also produced a number of professional surfers and his home to some of the best waves in Southern California. With Blacks in La Jolla to Coronado Island’s Silver Strand and North County’s beaches, San Diego is definitely a hot spot for surf culture.
With respect to trends in the surfing industry it’s no wonder why this year’s First Annual International San Diego Surf Film Festival will be one to remember. They are bringing out the best of the best from all over the world to share!
