The noseride is an iconic surfing move, part fluid dynamics, part magic. But how does noseriding actually work? What makes this suspension between sea and sky even possible?
The Physics of Noseriding explores the question through the eyes of Namaala, a young surfer whose people were flying on water long before the world knew what surfing even was. She takes us on a journey from mystery to mastery, as the wave, the surfboard and the surfer come together for surfing’s perfect dance.
After the film, director Lauren Hill will give a presentation on the science and art of noseriding, followed by a Q&A.

PAR AVION builds upon the traditions of Southern California’s reverb-heavy surf sound then takes a journey that touches upon a unique mix of flavors ranging from dance, Latin, and some good ol’ garage to name a few. This instrumental group is fronted by Bernard Yin who has toured over the years with groups as diverse as Medicine, El Vez, The BellRays, Fur Dixon (of the CRAMPS), Pansy Division and the Fuzztones. On bass is his wife Rebecca Ramirez. Par Avion has performed in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Italy, France and all over California.
Â
2022 highlights, thus far, include performances at Tiki Oasis and Lightning in a Bottle; two very different festivals that serve as a testimony to the band's diverse sound. And, yes, Bernard Yin actually surfs. Last but far from least, treasure trove of fabulous drummers perform with Par Avion including DJ Bonebrake, Dusty Watson, Derek O’Brien, Jimmy Paxson, Justin Campbell, and George Bernardo to name a few. No matter what, you will be stoked!
