Here’s Why You Need To Be At The San Diego Surf Film Festival
This week happens to be the magical week of The San Diego Surf Film Festival, and in case you haven’t attended before, here’s why this is the year you want to join the band wagon:
Taking place Wednesday, May 10th and continuing through Saturday, May 13th, this year will be the first time the festival is opening the VIP Nautilus Pass Party to the public (although in a very limited capacity). We heard those words and wanted to get you access ASAP so just click right here to snag your $20 ticket now!
And if you can’t make the party, don’t worry, the remainder of the week and weekend are going to be packed with equally great #FOMO-worthy events like a full moon surf, special presentation from Surfer Magazine’s photo editor, Fall Brewing tastings and more.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the schedule. For more details, access to the full schedule and the ability to buy individual day tickets, check out the link below.
