Summer is almost here and so is Ombak Bali, South East Asia’s one and only surf film festival. We’ve travelled the globe to find the best new films that celebrate the culture of surfing. The complete program will be presented begin July but to give a lil sneak peek: Enter the heart of a small community in Papua New Guinea where village men battle it out to be king of the waves; follow a group of UK surfers on an environmental mission and experience the trials and tribulations of girl surfers in the Phillipines. Also surfing Morocco, the latest big wave action from Hawaii, Mexico and California and positive proof that dolphins love to catch waves.

Where? La Plancha!!! We found a new spot on Seminyak beach. Bali’s most happening beach hang-out is hosting Ombak Bali with a big screen right on the sand. Enjoy four starry nights with film premiers, live music and DJ’s.
