This traveling event, which will take place across all islands through November, is a meeting point for filmmakers, athletes and business people connected to surfing. This aims to position the Canary Islands as a reference in this sport.
The Councilor for Museums and Sports, Concepción Rivero, highlights the numerous activities of this festival and the variety of its themes, stressing that this year there will be several lectures on sustainability and environmental protection, “two important themes for the sustainable future of Tenerife”. . She adds that this type of festival shows how important this sport is to the island’s economy.
The director of the festival, José María Cavero Vega, emphasizes that this is a festival that creates and stimulates environmental awareness, both through the lectures and through the shows themselves. But there is still a lot to be done to stop the destruction of the oceans.
The festival extends over three days, each with a music session with a DJ, lectures or thematic conferences and the screening of a film or documentary. The CSFF will be open from 6pm to 1am.
The range of music will be created by a different DJ on all three days of the festival and this Thursday includes performances by Dj Yaib, Tropical Ganster and Eva Soul. DJ Addams Marx, María Al Revés and DJ Gial Holap will be on stage on Friday. On Saturday it will be the turn of Dj Ephemere, La Cangrejera and Dj Pureza.
Two lectures are on the agenda today: one on In and Out of Water Education by Carlos Suárez and one on Photography by Fonsi Martín and Jonathan González. On Friday, Pablo Martín and Javier Coello will talk about the island we deserve, while Lorenza Mazzola and Ruth Olapés will talk about family and surfing as a religion.
As part of the cinema program, a dozen films related to the world of surfing will be shown.
