16th Annual Surf Movie Fundraiser
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10th 2023
Keep It A Secret
Mildred Owen Concert Hall, 1200 Linda Mar Blvd, Pacifica, CA
Keep It A Secret is a surf story that bring us back to the early 1970s where the world-class waves of Ireland were uncharted waters for the international surfing community. Amidst the conflict of the Troubles, pioneers in both Dublin and Belfast transcended political hostilities to host the 1972 Eurosurf championship. This look into the unsung history of Ireland’s now world-renowned surf scene details the power of sport to bridge any divide. – Brandon Harrison

Many people might be surprised to learn that Ireland has since become a global surfing destination, with a coastline twice the length of California’s and world-class waves to match it. Nowadays the Emerald Island is well known for world class surfing, but back in the early ’70s surfing in Ireland was completely unknown to the outside surfing world.
“Keep It A Secret is a total gem”
Reel News Daily
Keep It A Secret is the first documentary film to tell the inspiring story of the surfing pioneers from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, who found in the exhilaration of wave-riding an escape from The Troubles and a common bond that transcended the political hostilities and religious sectarianism that divide their countrymen.
