TSPTR proudly presents a screening of George Greenough's seminal 1970 psychedelic surf film The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun

WEDNESDAY 9th JULY 2025 at The Castle Cinema, Hackney, London

Generated in the wake of the countercultural, antiwar, free-loving Sixties—and its subsequent swells of disillusion—an environmentally conscious back-to-the-land movement evolved among surfers. Greenough’s The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun beautifully captures this new scene and the shortboard revolution, as surfers begin to build their own lighter, faster, custom boards providing greater mobility and changing surfing forever.

Cameraman, surfer and filmmaker George Greenough was responsible for both the invention of the modern surfboard fin and the first shots taken from inside a waves courtesy of his renown custom kneeboard and innovative water camera designs.

The film's groundbreaking point-of-view sequences are utterly unique and build to a visually stunning, psychedelic crescendo. Accompanied by a stomping psych-rock soundtrack, by Californian supergroup Farm, Innermost Limits is a masterpiece that not only documents the short board 'Country Soul' scene but also has at its core an underlying message about the sanctity of nature.

The screening will be followed by a Q and A with George Greenough's friend and confidant, Andy Fielding of Fantasy Surfcraft.

The special GREENOUGH edition of the TSPTR JOURNAL will be available at the screening along with soundtrack vinyl LP's, fine art Giclee posters, badges and t shirts!
