London Surf Film Festival - The Winners 2016

The list of winners for the 2016 London Surf / Film Festival just dropped into our inbox. Check out the rundown of awards below and links to clips for all of the videos. We’ll let the director, Demi Taylor take it from here…

“Wave riding is such an ephemeral thing. Each moment and each wave is unique, they can’t be re-ridden. It’s what sets surfing apart and this is exactly the spirit of we wanted to bring out in this year’s festival,” says LS/FF Director Demi Taylor “Our closing gala with the live A/V performance of Chasing Zero from composer CJ Mirra and award winning filmmaker Chris McClean, followed by the 35mm premiere of Forbidden Trim and live set from the Forbidden Trim Band blew everyone away. It really encapsulated the surfing spirit and underscored just how special the communal act of a big screen surf movie experience is.”
