- LINDA BENSON to host: Our Anniversary Party and the 2012 Board Shorts Film Festival will be introduced by none other than 5 x world champion and female surf legend Linda Benson! A former speaker at a San Diego Surf Ladies Anniversary party we feel no San Diego Women’s surfing event would be complete without such an icon in the sport.
- SAN DIEGO SURF FILM FESTIVAL - We are stoked to announce that the wonderful folks in charge of organizing the very first San Diego Surf Film Festival will be selecting one of the short films shown at the Boards Shorts festival in February to screen during their three days of surf film goodness at Bird's Surf Shed May 11 - 13, 2012.

SAN DIEGO COASTKEEPER has been chosen as the beneficiary of a portion of the proceeds from the fundraiser at the Board Shorts Film Festival.
