A young designer seizes the opportunity to raise awareness about ocean stewardship with the interest generated by his surfboard that he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts. Preceded by the Short Film: Entropy

WORLD PREMIERE! Ben Judkins and Taylor Lane in attendance... with surf boards!

After a young designer realizes that a surfboard –which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches– could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards become a platform to spark ocean stewardship and the symbol of a campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic waste.

Small decisions and actions, like littering a cigarette butt, cumulatively can have a significant impact, for better or for worse. This extraordinarily entertaining documentary provides viewers with an up-close ocean experience through surfers' eyes to amplify a message of urgency and possibility regarding the ocean's wellbeing.
