Ocean Night at Arcata Theatre Lounge

Check out Sliding Liberia Thursday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge as part of the monthly Ocean Night event brought to you by Ocean Conservancy, Humboldt Surfrider and Humboldt Baykeeper.

Sliding Liberia follows four young surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. Risking everything to explore the West African country devastated by decades of war, they record the stories of people they meet... people like Alfred, who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. Besides rediscovering a break that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, they find something more important: a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century.
