Glass Love:

20 years ago, seminal surf film Glass Love explored the beauty and art involved in surfing, weaving threads that inspired art, music, and boards in ways that spanned multiple generations.
Featuring Neil Purchase Jr, Tom and Pat Curren, Wayne Lynch, Michael Peterson (MP), Rabbit Bartholomew, Skip Frye, Oscar Wright and Derek Hynd, Glass Love highlighted how deeply the ocean acts as muse for many surfers.
To keep the inspiration loop spinning across the eons, a very special 20th anniversary screening of Glass Love will be gifted back to Kirra, a break that features in the film, with a Q & A with filmmaker Andrew Kidman.

The Big Sea

Award winning documentary exploring surfing’s links to Cancer Alley from Lewis Arnold & Chris Nelson.
Surfing is killing it. This $10 billion global industry – built on a clean, green dream – has never been more popular. But surfing has a dirty secret… Neoprene.
