But in truth the winner has been the Amstel Surfilm Festibal itself and its organizers, as it is a real blessing to have the support of so many good directors that want to showcase their work during our Festibal, of such a good bunch of cool guys as members of the Jury, of so many surfers wanting to watch the films (three sold out sessions) and the help of our sponsors and contributors.

Thanks a lot to you all and see you in Bilbao on September 18.
