Eco Surfboard Expression Session. To challenge the perception that sustainable surfboards can’t truly perform, Rising Tide are putting a collection of planet-friendly boards under the feet of high-level surfers for a one hour heat and letting them loose to celebrate style, creativity, and pure stoke. Because great surfing shouldn’t cost the earth.

Great ideas need great storytelling. This discussion brings together a photographer, creative director and filmmaker to share how creative thinking and visual media can shine a spotlight on the people shaping a more planet friendly approach to building surfboards, helping sustainable innovations reach wider audiences, challenge preconceptions and inspire meaningful change across the surf community.

Learn from the inspiring voices who are at the forefront of driving positive change for people and the environment through activism, community, politics, the economy, and creativity.

A difficult but important conversation between people who have felt the challenges of mental and physical health and how a connection to the ocean has been a part of their journey to more support positive mental wellbeing.

Join voices from the conservation and surfing industries who experience first hand the difficulties, and the improvements in how the LGBTQ+ community is represented in the spaces that they love.

Listen to Surfer’s Against Sewage as they explore their work from the perspectives of their team, ambassadors and campaigners who are on the front line of ocean protection and activism.

A conversation that explores how we need to rethink our perspectives on our local environment. Fields, Farms, Forests and Coastlines are all part of one interlinked ecosystem that needs our full attention and care.
