CREATURES OF HABIT:
The new short film dives deep into the raw, bone-numbing world of cold-water surfing. Filmed across remote waterscapes in Canada and Iceland, the film showcases the desire to face the elemental. It’s about confronting uncertainty and embracing the discomfort that defines some of the world’s inhospitable but massively rewarding surf zones.
THE SEARCH FOR VOLCANO ISLAND:
Five friends journey by boat into Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands, chasing rumors of perfect waves. Directed by Ben Weiland and Brian Davis, this cold-water surf adventure delivers stunning visuals and raw, remote exploration.
GISBORNE BOARDRIDERS HISTORY:
Gisborne Boardriders History - a look back on the first 50 years by Damon Meade.

Point of Change - Surf Movie Night
Dates: Thursday, 15 January
The surfing Nationals are in Gisborne 11-17 January 2026 and as part of the event, Gisborne Boardriders Club is hosting two epic movie nights during the week.
NIGHT TWO
Thursday, 15 January 2026
Bar open at 5pm
Films begin at 7pm
Ticket link below, doors sales available if not sold out prior.
POINT OF CHANGE:
An island community dramatically changed forever by the 'discovery' of a perfect wave in the 1970s. The remarkable and previously untold true story of the first surf pioneers to 'discover' the 'Point' on the isolated Indonesian island of Nias and the dramatic consequences and the devastating social and ecological repercussions for the people and place that followed. A contemporary, cautionary tale of paradise lost. POINT of CHANGE is a compelling and dramatic documentary feature film told through a unique blend of previously unseen archive, contemporary interview and beautiful animation, featuring music by Stephen Wareck and Paul Oakenfold, with local musicians, to reveal an all too resonant picture of a society changed forever by powerful economic and environmental forces outside of their control.
