Not a competition. This is an in-person documentary screening and U.S.-tour stop.

STERN FEVER comes to The Alcazar Theatre in Carpinteria on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The Alcazar’s live Ticket Tailor listing and checkout currently offer Reserved Seating for $20 with a $0 booking fee. Exact occurrence artwork publishes doors at 6:30 PM PST and the screening at 7:00 PM; the venue-distributed EventVesta listing supplies a 7:00–9:00 PM window. Talon Clemow wrote and directed the documentary through One Palm Media / Tasman Digital, tracing Shipstern Bluff from a closely guarded Tasmanian slab through tow surfing and worldwide recognition. The film combines never-before-seen footage, archives and first-person stories from pioneering and current surfers, photographers and filmmakers, with narration by Simon Baker and appearances from Kelly Slater, Andy Irons, Joel Parkinson, Shane Dorian, Ross Clarke-Jones, Mark Mathews, David Rastovich, Stephanie Gilmore and others. One Palm Media’s current U.S.-tour announcement and Stab’s November 9 feature independently confirm Carpinteria on November 29. The $20 ticket is explicitly reserved seating; no seat-map or seat-selection mechanism appeared in the reviewed checkout. No exact age rating, minor/guardian or ID rule, numeric capacity, ticket cutoff, waitlist, door-sales promise, refund/transfer or re-entry policy is published. The exact event also does not publish parking inventory, step-free entry details, captioning, filmmaker attendance, Q&A, intermission, concessions, merchandise, livestream or replay. This is an indoor surf-film screening, not a surf contest or participation session; there is no athlete registration, judging, prize purse or results.
