There’s an endless list of thank you’s for the guidance and belief that people have provided me over the years to enable this moment to happen. What started as an idea from @visslasurf & @surfrider 2017 #creatorscontest has enveloped my life to help inspire and address more ocean stewardship through functional surfboards made from people’s careless habits - #littered #plastic #cigarette #butts. This journey has proven to me the power of collaboration to solve problems, and that we can use our imagination to break barriers and preconceived beliefs. At the same time, this project has also taken me to some very dark places. I’ve witnessed first-hand the death and destruction caused to our #planet and #wildlife as a result of single-use plastic and our #consumer #lifestyle. Its raised some very deep questions in my mind about how these actions are affecting us now and in our future. What does a #polluted #ocean and #world mean for all of us? Why have we done this to ourselves? What can be done to fix it? I’ve realized that ignorance is truly bliss, and that ignorance is the source of the problems and why they persist. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This project has opened many doors and inspired me that change is possible. I feel certain it’s my duty as a world citizen to share this journey (@thecigarettesurfboard) in which @juddyproductions and I are working to capture the awesome work people have accomplished and are now doing to protect our oceans. We set out on this journey as two average surfers concerned about the environmental destruction caused by our single-use plastic culture, and trying to understand the extent of #solutions. But we’ve learned much more. We don’t have all the answers, but for sure, we’ve asked a lot of questions and had a lot of insightful conversations. Our film will enlighten people on these subjects and create a framework of various solutions, alternative thinking and a way to get involved if they choose. And oh yeah, we’re gunna have a full quiver of ciggy boards as surfers and surf of all kinds glide and slide on these boards around the world in search for answers about what can be done to #safeguard and #protect our seas.
