It’s a veritable Hi-8 rampage featuring Derek and several members of the original cast * TICKETS HERE * 545pm MOMENTUM GENERATION Northern NSW Premiere. Includes Q&A with original Momentum filmmaker Taylor Steele . Starring Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox, Ross Williams, Kalani Robb, Benji Weatherley, Pat O’Connell, and Taylor Steele.

In 1992 they met up on the North Shore of Oahu spending the winter with the best waves in the world on their doorstep, and it changed surfing as we know it, forever. * TICKETS HERE * 4pm OVERCOMING - Stories of challenge triumph and the sea with Lauren L. Hill & Dave Rastovich - Heartfelt, vulnerable, funny, honest. Gather round for an afternoon of raw surf storytelling, as we explore the theme of Overcoming: Stories of Challenge, Triumph and the Sea.
