There are 110 miles of coastline on the Central Coast of California between Jalama and Rincon. It offers a bounty of setups: pointbreaks, the occasional reef, and plenty of kelpy, glassy conditions. It's here that we find Conner Coffin, one of the world's preeminent surfers. While charmed, Santa Barbara isn't the easiest place to become a professional surfer. But like Tom Curren and Bobby Martinez before him, Conner's a Rincon fixture with a career that's a product of undeniable talent, rather than some internalized desire to wear a jersey. “Being in Santa Barbara, you had to be humble, or you weren’t going to get to surf the good spots,” Conner says about his home. “There are so many good surfers and older guys that were gnarly. You can’t be this arrogant, little dick, because you aren't going to get any waves or respect. I always had this goal to be a pro surfer but then I always wanted to get along with everyone and respect the hierarchy here.” Mind Surfing is the latest original film from 805 Beer. The film highlights the people and waves that made Conner the surfer he is today. It also spotlights who Conner really is, beyond just a surfer with opportunities, success, and a breathtaking style that rests on a shelf labeled, “Iconic.” Directed by Keith Malloy (Fishpeople, Come Hell or High Water), it features interviews with Conner’s family and surfing legends like Shane Dorian, Lakey Peterson, Rosy Hodge, and more.

Bill Delaney’s 1977 classic surf movie, Free Ride, captured the height of the shortboard revolution and showcased some of the world’s most progressive surfing with its revolutionary slow motion water photography. When Free Ride was originally released, it was an instant hit at the box office and became the gold standard. Now, almost half a century later, the original videotape assets have been found and were meticulously restored, bringing you the most complete version of Free Ride seen since its original theatrical release in 1977. A film about living with the ocean and enjoying life, Free Ride presents this 45th Anniversary Edition in celebration of surfing, the ocean and the freedom of the ride. NOW STREAMING!

A FILM BY PAUL TAUBLIEB The logical thing, the sane thing, is to stay on land. But they paddle out. Why do these big wave surfers risk their lives to ride these mountain-sized waves? The answer is overcoming fear. "Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear" is an in-depth look at the 2021-22 big wave season through the eyes of Nic Von Rupp, Kai Lenny, Matt Bromley, Torrey Meister, and pioneering female surfer Bianca Valenti, along with a special appearance by Vini dos Santos and maybe the 100-foot wave. They all push past their fear and find out what is on the other side as they tackle monstrous waves in locations from Nazare in Portugal, Jaws, and Pipeline in Hawaii, and Mavericks in Northern California.

ABOUT For decades Santa Barbara has attracted and cultivated a melange of surf innovators. From board shapers like Renny Yater, Al Merick, Matt Moore, and George Greenough, who have taken shaping to a whole new level. To surfers like Bobby Martinez, Chris Brown, and Tom Curren, whose unique styles have stood the test of time. There is a certain element to “Santa Barbara Surf Culture,” which combines tradition with radical innovation, that has played an influential role in the international surf scene for over 50 years. The Santa Barbara Surf Film Festival celebrates this rich surf history and the diverse storytelling styles of filmmakers, artists, shapers, and surfers who have started it all. PURPOSE Our goal is to create a comprehensive celebration of the diverse storytelling styles of filmmakers, artists, and wave riders who are artisans of their craft and stewards of our oceans. We hope to inspire future surf innovators and support our surf community.
