The USA Tour for the new film, CORNERS OF THE EARTH KAMCHATKA, will have 2 local stops this month. The Laemmle in Santa Monica and Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles will each host a screening of the film with a Q&A with director Spencer Frost.

The film follows filmmakers Spencer Frost and Guy Williment and surfers Letty Mortenson and Fraser Dovell as they journey to Kamchatka in the far east of Russia in search of new waves along the frozen, unexplored coastline. At a time when the world was seeing the worst of human nature, these guys flew behind the iron curtain and found, to their surprise the best of it. Mi-8 helicopters, skidoos, frozen campsites, and frozen bank accounts, this surf trip quickly became far more than anyone could imagine.

Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk with more than 150 volcanoes (29 active)the Kamchatka Peninsula in Far Eastern Russia is as remote as it is unique. After 2 years of planning the trip was almost over before it started. An hour before boarding their flight to Moscow, Russia invaded Ukraine.

At a time when the world was seeing the worst of human nature, these guys flew behind the iron curtain and found, to their surprise the best of it. Mi-8 helicopters, skidoos, frozen campsites, and frozen bank accounts, this surf trip quickly became far more than anyone could imagine.

“Maybe the greatest surf adventure of the century.” - ★★★★★ Nick Carroll, Surfline

Surf Tias and Surf Tios - join us for our last surf camp of the 2023 Summer Season on SEP 24.



Los Courage Camps' mission is to teach the diverse children of Los Angeles who have never experienced the ocean how to surf and consequently connect them with their courage, potential, inner strength, and leadership.

Since 2017, Los Courage Camps has offered free surf lessons to the youth of the greater Los Angeles & Orange County areas.

We believe in the ocean's ability to transform our communities of color. Surfing is an experience that allows you to do something you never even knew was possible. One lesson and one child at a time, we expand access to the ocean to the communities that need it the most.
