The Granite Stoke, a documentary about the hardy folk who call the bitter beach breaks of New Hampshire home, is premiering at Allpress, Shoreditch, this Thursday October 16 as the last event in the prolific London Surf Film Festival.

The London surf diaspora should enjoy this slice of New England life as infrequent swell and cold conditions characterise the gnarly sliding lifestyle.

According to LSFF: “Surfing in New Hampshire can be a frustrating affair. The flat spells can be long and the temperature, freezing, but these factors have helped forge a very special surf community. Filmmakers Ryan and Dylan have captured the essence of this extraordinary place, combining awe-inspiring landscapes and coastlines with the local characters and pioneers. It does more than tell the story of this small US State; it captures the very essence of surfing and what makes the friends we meet through it so special.”

Tickets are just £5 and include a free beer. The film starts at 7pm.
