Wednesday July 21 the 3rd edition of Ombak Bali Surf Film Festival kicked off with an awesome night full of films, music and surf photography.

A whole lot of people attended the opening night which was held on a beautiful warm & dry night in the outdoor amfitheatre on Kuta Reef beach.
First film was the short documentary ‘Gum for my boat’ which tells the inspirational story of street children on the Bangladesh south coast who join the local surf club. After the film the award ceremony of the Ombak Bali/ Surf Time Magazine photo contest was held. Out of 50 internationally submitted photos a jury selected 2 winning shots: a self portrait of pro-surfer Mikala Jones in a barrel somewhere in Bali and runner up was a stunning photo by Brad Masters. Mikala Jones was there himself to receive the first prize.

An exposition with 14 photos from the surf photo contest can be visited daily at the festival venue till July 24.
The main film of the evening ‘Fiberglass and Megapixels’ started right after the event and gives a spectacular insight in the Hawaiian surf photography scene.

7 piece reggae band Marapu from Yogyakarta topped of the evening with their positive vibes. They just launched their new album ‘Peace, Love & Freedom’ and are on tour in Bali this week.

You can visit the festival every night till the 24th of July.
