Solento Surf Festival Brings Culture and Community to the Floridian Shores

This week, Fort Lauderdale will host the Solento Surf Festival, which is expected to generate fresh interest in the city’s surfing scene. According to an NBC6 Miami article, the festival, which has been successful on the West Coast, is moving to the warm beaches of South Florida and promises two days packed with panels, live music, surf films, and more.

Tomorrow and Saturday, Savor Cinema will open at 5:30 p.m., and movies will start soon after. The festival highlights the culture and friendship that characterize surfing in addition to the sport and its waves. It emphasizes the relaxed, “take your time” mentality that the festival’s founder and filmmaker, Taylor Steele, who also developed the Solento Organic Tequila brand that the festival is named after, advocated. “Fort Lauderdale has a really strong, tight-knit surfing community that often gets overlooked when people think of the great surf cities in the US,” Steele told NBC 6 Miami.

Steele’s Solento Surf Festival isn’t just about the beach; it will also include up-and-coming talent Ryan Huckabee and prominent industry players like Lisa Andersen, a four-time world surfing champion and a Florida surfing icon. It is anticipated that their observations and videos will be the centerpieces of an occasion that has long honored the fusion of film and surfing. Bands like Camp Blu and The Floridians are scheduled to perform on the music side, which should further establish the mood for a relaxed, immersive experience.

Steele responded, “The festival is an opportunity for those who love surfing and the environment that surfing creates to enjoy the slower things,” according to a statement received by Miami New Times. Steele wants to restore the sense of community that he believes has been lost in the technologically advanced world of today.
