‘Freeride’ SW UK Premiere with Tom Lowes new film “Let me live”
Thursday 29th February LS/FF x Kinomor present a very special screening & SW Premiere of remastered cult classic, Free Ride hosted at @wtw_newquay
Free Ride was last (officially) shown in Cornwall in 1978 when Three S films toured it and crowds of surfers from across the south west, hungry for the latest dispatch from the world of international surfing, gathered in places like Porthtowan Village Hall. Reels were threaded through the projector and the future that played out on the big screen was burned onto the collective conscience.
The era defining style, power & flow of Shaun Tomson, Mark Richards, Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew et al fired the synapses, while the laconic tones of Jan-Michael Vincent and iconic sound track evoked a pivotal moment in time… Rivals jostled for wave and screen time, proponents of the single fin duelled with the new-wave of twin fin riders – sometimes in the same barrel. It was a time of hot talents, burning egos, bright boardshorts and brighter still boards, pushing boundaries,‘bustin down the door’ and celebrating the freedom of the ride. This special screening celebrates 45 Years of Free Ride.
“It didn’t just record a generation, it inspired the next.” Nick Carroll
“Era-defining surf movie…” Matt Warshaw, EOS
“The next truly influential surfing film.” Surfing Magazine 1977
Accompanied by award winning short ‘Let Me Live’ Dir. @keithmalloy_thetorpedopeople , celebrating enigmatic Cornishman Tom Lowe, the evening is an exploration of community and kinship
The good folk at @sharpsbrewery are providing the Offshores and our friends at @yetieurope and @foundationroasters are sending across some goodies to stave off the cold. This is what dark winter nights were made for – gathering together with a crew of like-minded individuals for the finest cinematic surf session to salute the season ahead.

Mullaghmore Monsters
In this episode, Nic surfs the legendary wave of Mullaghmore in Ireland, where freezing temperatures and a dangerous shallow reef awaken the year’s most massive waves. Nic and Torrey Meister stood among the select few surfers daring enough to paddle out, conquering some of the largest waves Ireland has ever witnessed. Despite the nearly insurmountable odds, including flight cancellations, delays, and minimal sleep, this session emerged as one of the standout moments of 2023.
