Stoked & Broke, Directed by Cyrus Sutton
Friday 14th October
Making their own boards, bamboo rickshaws, solar cookers, and hobo stoves, surfers Ryan Burch and Cyrus Sutton set off on a thirty mile, eight day walk through San Diego, CA. But what begins as a guide to taking a minimalist surfing journey, quickly becomes an examination of freedom vs alienation.

Finnsurf, Directed by Aleksi Raij
Finnsurf peels back the fleecy layers on the lives of a handful of surfers from one of the world?s most inhospitable surf locations and discovers just what drives them to paddle out into the Baltic Sea in water that is life threateningly frigid. This film is both touching and inspiring and will make the viewer re-evaluate just what it means to be a surfer.
