A Simpel crew of 8 friends head North on a last minute cold water surf adventure in the hope of finding waves and rugged landscapes.
Official Selection – Portuguese Surf Film Festival
Our little short has been officially selected for the Portuguese Surf Film Festival 2025, taking place live on the beach in Ericeira.
Now in its 14th edition, PSFF isn’t just any surf‑film showcase it’s held in Ericeira, Europe’s only World Surfing Reserve, and it’s become a gathering point for surf culture from around the globe. www.surffilm.squarespace.com
It’s proud to feature amongst the best surf films, documentaries, and ocean‑stories, judged by filmmakers, surfers and storytellers who really get it. Being picked means a lot.
About the trip
Spontaneous trip north. Eight friends with a rough idea find waves in cold, unpredictable conditions. Long drives, early starts, changing forecasts shaped a certain type of honest and humble energy.
No big crew. A couple of cameras. Honest footage. Somehow, those moments, freezing, gritty, quiet, found their place on screen.
Featuring:
McKenzie Bowden, Luis Eyre, Alessandro Piu, Tane Bowden, Joseph Harding, Ben Hay, Joel Wakeling, Jamie Hay.
See it live
Join us at the Ericeira screening July 26th. Check the full lineup and grab tickets at surffilm.squarespace.com.
Thanks for tuning in for Simpel trips and honest films.
