Solento Surf Festival in Encinitas has officially kicked off!

Having attended a few editions of the festival now, we can confirm it sits right in the middle of the Venn diagram of surf films, surfing, music, and parties – basically everything we love. Following a massive run of events on the Gold Coast, SSF Encinitas has just commenced.

The likes of Taylor Steele, festival artist Andy Davis, and Tosh Tudor were among those in attendance at Paradise Club, where we sipped on Solento Tequila (of course!) and geared up for a week of action ahead. Shoutout to the companies that are making it all happen Outerknown, United, Sun Bum, Strive, Firewire, Slater Designs, Ikon, Rivian, Hume, Padres, Yerba Madre, Surfside, 805 Beer, and REEF.

Head to the SSF website for the full lineup of events, and come down to Seaside Reef this weekend for surfing, drinks, live music, and good vibes!
