There are always so many great things to do close to the coast.
Here, just a few upcoming events I’m excited about:
September 24th – La Paloma Theater. After three years in the making, pro surfer and POV Cinematographer, Brian Conley releases the third edition to his My Eyes Won’t Dry surf movie collection. An adrenaline filled ride full of thrilling risk, reward, stoke and beauty. The film is a state-of-the-art documentation of the elements and sensations of tube riding in high surf. Along with a tight crew of hard chargers and tube gurus, Brian hunts for the very best waves throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Saturday, September 25th - Del Mar Shores Cinema Series debuts this Saturday with 180 SOUTH, the most critically acclaimed adventure film of 2010: 180 South, Conquerors of the Useless. The 16-mm, HD film follows the re-creation of an epic surf, sailing and climbing journey from Ventura to Chilean Patagonia with Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins, the founders of Patagonia and North Face, respectively.The Friends of Del Mar Parks family event celebrates the rich connection of the Del Mar community with the preservation of open spaces for future generations and features films that emphasize a message of social or environmental responsibility. With support from the Del Mar Foundation, Dexter’s Deli, Bordeaux Printers, VAS Surf Division and Weatherly Asset Management, the event will also feature live acoustic blues performances, a ‘Lick’ garden for the family dog, a craft beer garden, catering by Bull Taco Cardiff and children’s food and games.All family activities kick-off at 5 p.m. Movies start rolling at sunset. Short films by KorduroyTV and Hydrodynamica will also be playing.
Saturday, October 9th - Jack Johnson To The Sea Tour. One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen! We can’t wait to see Jack and friends again this year, October 9th at Cricket. (Last I checked there were still tickets available). Again this year, Jack Johnson’s tour collaborates with over 150 hand-chosen community groups working in the realms of plastic waste reduction, sustainable food systems, climate change, watersheds, environmental education, and more. We’ll be carpooling to this event and plan to stop by the Village Green to learn more about the specific groups involved at the San Diego show. You can get all sorts of information about what Jack and his crew are doing to minimize the environmental impact of the To The Sea Tour here. I hope to see you at all or some of these events!
