Surfalorus

Hosted at Jennette's Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina, this surf film festival will take place September 15-17, 2025!

Hosted at Jennette's Pier in Nags Head, North Carolina, this surf film festival will take place September 15-17, 2025! Thank you to our partners: Dare Arts, Jennette's Pier, Cola Vaugh Realty, ESA. This event is funded by the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.
This three-day celebration showcases the year's best surf films! The festival happens during the Eastern Surfing Association’s annual, year-end competition, so the audience is full of salty youngsters who are surfing all day and watching movies at night. They’re joined by a growing number of Outer Banks locals as well as surf lovers who travel in for the week.
