This past weekend surfers gathered in Oceanside for the 4th Annual California Surf Festival, an event that celebrates surfing culture in history, film, music, and more. Friday night was all about chicks who rip, featuring surf films Oceanides and Leave A Message. It was the US premiere of Oceanides, a women's surfing film presented by Keep A Breast Foundation, directed by surf photographer-turned film maker Lorene Carpentier. The film features stylish women surfers including Rochelle Ballard, Claire Bevillacqua, Julie Cox, Lee Ann Curren, Kassia Meador, Jen Smith, and many other chicks who rip. Nike's Leave A Message women's surfing film was also played, directed by Jason Kenworthy, filmed and edited by Aaron Lieber, featuring Carissa Moore, Coco Ho, Lakey Peterson, Laura Enever, Malia Manuel and Monyca Byrne-Wickey. If you haven't seen this film yet, find the full movie on YouTube- this women's surf film is the most progressive women's surf film ever made. Lorene Carpentier, Jason Kenworthy, Aaron Lieber and surfers Julie Cox, Carissa Moore, Lakey Peterson and many others made it to the Surf Festival for chicks who rip night, making for a night in women's surfing that will not be soon forgotten.
