Surf lovers were treated to a feast of surfing at the second Bass Coast Surf Film Festival on March 14 and 15.
The festival, which ran over two days at Berninneit, included 10 films from around the globe, plus an exhibition of surfing memorabilia from the island's rich surfing history, presented by the National Surfing Reserve committee.
On display were boards from local collections, including Phillip Island's first surfboards (surf planers), the remnants of a surfboard ridden by Glyndyn Ringrose on the world circuit, boards by champion kneeboarder and shaper Neil Luke and a 1962 board by Terry Klemm and Reg Bell.
The boards came from the collections of Laurie Thomson, Julie Box, the Harris Family and Glyndyn Ringrose.
Across the two days, several hundred people enjoyed the surf film festival and exhibition, and on Saturday evening were entertained by local band the Foxy Junes.
