Surf Nite in SLO, the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival’s signature one-of-a-kind surfing film event, is screening three short surf films at the Fremont Theater on Friday, April 25.
Creatures of Habit journeys through the unpredictable and challenging conditions of cold-water surfing. Making Waves: The Lakey Peterson Story takes you inside the life of a relentless competitor whose journey is filled with triumphs, setbacks, and unwavering drive. Nø Way follows a group as they chase perfection and ponder their motivations in the Arctic.
The evening kicks off at 5 p.m. with a set by popular local band Riff Tide. Guests are encouraged to enjoy Firestone 805 beer and mingle in the Fremont Theater’s stunning art deco lobby prior to 7 p.m. introductory comments and the screenings.
