The festival of surfing subculture – supported by Malibu, GQ, Zigzag, Cape Times and Drive South Africa – kicks off with the famous giant screening on Clifton Fourth Beach on Friday 8 December. Admission is free. This is followed by surf films at the Labia and the Brass Bell, and a roadshow to Hermanus, Vic Bay, Knysna and Plett. Tickets include free entry for prizes such as surfboards, Iron Fist skateboards, Zigzag gear, and FNB hampers. The grand prize this year is a surf holiday for two to Mozambique.
A top selection of surfing films – including Shaun Tomson's “Pure Line”, the cult classic “Endless Summer”, Kelly Slater’s “Letting Go”, the soulful “Zen and Zero”, the pumped up “Drive Thru South Africa”, “Horrorscopes: Cape of Storms”, Stacy Peralta’s “Pipeline Masters”, “Glass Love”, “Shades of Bali” and “Flow” – will be screened.
Brett Erasmus, Head of Marketing, Consumer Segments at First National Bank, said: "Following the resounding success of last year's festival FNB has again decided to support this festival. Surfing is a celebration of what South Africans hold dear - sun, sea and the beauty of the great outdoors."
The Wavescapes roadshow - spearheaded by the famous Wavescapes Surfmobile Kombi provided by Drive South Africa (www.drivesouthafrica.co.za) - hits the Southern Cape coast over the peak holiday season. Films will be shown in Hermanus (outdoors), Vic Bay (giant screen outdoors), Knysna (indoors) and Plett (indoors).
