In our first Tamarindo International Surf Film Festival we celebrated the essence of ocean-bound lives. Surfers, industry figures, filmmakers, and ocean enthusiasts united to honor wave-riding and storytelling through film. Dialogues bridged innovation and reverence for surfing's legacy, forging connections across the global surf community. This inaugural festival was a collaborative marvel - volunteers, the Master of Ceremonies, and the welcome committee all contributed to its success. We were honored to host Jeff Zimbalist, director of "Momentum Generation"; for an unforgettable debut. It proved to be an impactful fundraiser for CEPIA Costa Rica, offering underprivileged children their first theater experience. Prior to the festival the children from CEPIA painted their visions of surfing, showcasing remarkable talent and imagination. Their artwork reflected the spirit of surfing, a testament to the festival's ability to inspire creativity.
