STERN FEVER — Encinitas Screening 2026

About this event

STERN FEVER brings the story of Shipstern Bluff to La Paloma Theatre in downtown Encinitas on Friday, November 20, 2026. The current Tasman Digital ticket page and La Paloma schedule agree on a 7:00 PM PST start; Ticket Tailor publishes a 9:30 PM end. Talon Clemow wrote, directed and produced the feature-length documentary through One Palm Media, tracing the Tasmanian slab from its secret early sessions through tow surfing and worldwide recognition. The film combines never-before-seen footage, archives and first-person stories from surfers, photographers and filmmakers who helped put Shipstern Bluff on the map. One Palm Media’s current organizer announcement identifies Encinitas as the first stop of the U.S. tour, and Stab independently lists the same date and venue. General admission is currently open online at $20 plus a $2.25 booking fee. La Paloma separately lists this as a $20 special engagement and links advance tickets. Its venue policy says advance purchases are final, special-event walk-up sales may be subject to availability and some premieres may be presale-only, so attendees should not rely on door inventory. No exact age rating, minor/guardian rule, reserved-seating policy, numeric capacity, ticket cutoff, transfer rule, re-entry policy, filmmaker appearance, Q&A, merch program, captioning, livestream or replay is published. This is an indoor surf-film screening, not a surf contest or participation session; there is no athlete registration, judging, prize purse or results. La Paloma is at 471 S Coast Highway 101 at D Street. A third-party venue listing reports accessible seating and free street/behind-theatre parking, but attendees with access needs should contact the theatre before travel.
