 Super Sessions Surf Film Night at OMA
Thanks to a partnership with Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA), California Surf Museum (CSM) is presenting Surf Film Night, a one-night-only showing of Hal Jepsen's 1975 surf film classic Super Sessions on Saturday, August 18th, in the Civic Center Community Rooms. Admission is $5.00, and members of OMA and CSM will be admitted free to the museum exhibition and movie as a benefit of membership. CSM will also offer a short raffle that night featuring a signed copy of Jeff Divine's Masters of Surf Photography book and a signed Divine print, among other items.
Surf Film Night is an integral part of OMA's summer surf program highlighting The 70s: Surf Photography by Jeff Divine and Classic Boards from the Era, the OMA exhibit that kicks off with a preview reception on Saturday, June 30, 2007, from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. (Jeff Divine will be on hand to greet guests.) The exhibition runs from July 1st to September 2nd.
Surf photographer Jeff Divine grew up in La Jolla and began taking photographs of his friends surfing in the mid-1960s. Within a couple of years his photographs were being published in Surfer magazine, and, in 1971, he was hired as a staff photographer at Surfer. During the 70s, Divine lived in Hawaii and traveled extensively throughout the world, capturing the decade on film. In addition to classic photographs of surfing legends such as Gerry Lopez and Eddie Aikau, museum visitors will see familiar scenes of local San Diego and Orange County surf spots. Accompanying Divine’s photographs will be vintage surfboards from Southern California collections.
