Bed & Board: The London Surf / Film Festival Surfboard Raffle

November 5th - 7th 2026 sees the London Surf / Film Festival, presented by our friends at Finisterre, return to Riverside Studios for its 15th year.

It’s always got an incredible line-up of surf film premieres and is an amazing celebration of the very best of international and homegrown surf culture. This year there are a couple of films featuring Cord team riders, and once again we’re donating a surfboard to be won in their Bed & Board raffle.

Bed & Board

Over the last few years the annual LS/FF x Cord Surfboards board raffle has raised thousands for Centrepoint, the UK's leading youth homelessness charity. Because the festival takes place on the first weekend of winter in a major capital city, the idea of young people without a place to call home sleeping rough on the streets really hits home.

This year we’re raffling off this 6’4” Ark channel-bottom pin-tail twin fin in an orange resin tint, and it could be yours for the price of a raffle ticket.

6' 6" x 20 1/16" x 2 11/16" V= 38.3 L

This year, after the festival has wrapped, we’ll also be offering an exclusive discount code to all entrants, and to film festival attendees who sign up to our mailing list using this link, regardless of whether or not they entered the raffle.

Fault Lines

Session 1 on Thursday November 5th is a double bill featuring Fault Lines, a documentary about Cord teamrider Noah Lane’s road to recovery after a near-fatal wipeout at Mully.

“Set against a backdrop of beautiful cinematography and candid conversation, this intimate portrait of one of our favourite surfers to watch when big winter swells kick in, explores the quiet inevitability of change and asks what it means to hold on to the person you were, while learning to become someone new.”

The screening will be accompanied by a special Q+A with Noah and filmmakers Nathan Whitmarsh & Justin Hunt

Thread

Session 1 on Friday November 6th is the World Premiere of Thread, by director Luke Pilbeam.

A “get in the van” style surf film shot in solid waves around the Celtic fringes, featuring a standout cast of surf talent from shores near and far, including Sandy Kerr, Phoebe Strachan, Noah Lane, Jayce Robinson, Mike Lay and Dr. Easkey Briton alongside Hawaii’s Cliff Kapono and Canada’s Andy Jones.

“A visual masterpiece from award winning duo Luke Pilbeam and James Bowden journeying across the Celtic fringes, through thunderous barrels and peeling points breaks, pulling on threads that reveal that it’s as much about the journey as the folk that are with you along the way.”

Accompanied by a special Q&A with Cliff Kapono, Noah Lane & Filmmaker Like Pilbeam

If you’re in London anyway or heading there for the 15th annual London Surf / Film Festival, enjoy the films, soak up some surf culture in the city, and buy a few raffle tickets. You might just win a brand new Ark, and it’ll be the cheapest surfboard you’ll ever get with a side of charitable giving.
