HAMBURG - NORD\NORDWEST SURF SKATE FILM FEST
A short flight from Santander to Frankfurt and a fast train northwards through the German countryside to Hamburg. Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and the second largest port in Europe. Situated on the River Elbe, the North Sea is to the west and the Baltic Sea is to the east, where surfable waves may be had. Founded by surf journalist and Bluemag editor Jens Steffenhagen, Nord\Nordwest Surf Skate Film Fest took place at the Hamburger Botschaft in the St Pauli quarter between July 5th and 7th. The festival provides an upbeat interactive space for patrons to hangout and view a multitude of surf and skate films, shorts and artwork. The pumped up crowd savoured every moment including the cold pilseners. El Mar, Mi Alma picked up Best Film, stoked! Cheers Hamburg! Congratulations Jens and crew on a great festival!
