End of Year One Watershed surf outing w/ LAPD cadets + Stoke Share is on!

As always, these are community-driven, crowdsourced events. They NEED volunteers in the water pushing kids into waves and NEED surf gear for the kids. The goal: CONNECT AT-RISK YOUTH TO NATURE THROUGH ACTION SPORTS

See the One Watershed Surf Event Facebook Page for more info.


Proudly presented by Corona x Parley, savethewaves.org/filmfest is an international film tour and fundraiser for Save The Waves’ environmental programs and campaigns. Movies alone can’t change the world – but the people who watch them can.

Save The Waves documentary films and the Film Festival educate and inspire audiences to protect the coastline. Our interest is not to make films promoting nor glorifying activism, but rather film as activism.





The final screening of 2017 will be this Friday 12/8 in Venice at Farm League, featuring live music from Brightside, high quality raffle prizes, and as usual, the finest eco-minded surf films in the world curated by a panel of international #artists, #athletes, and #activists.

EVENING SCHEDULE

6pm - VIP pre-party and filmmaker reception

7pm - doors open

745pm - short films program

9:00pm - intermission, raffle, music

9:45pm - feature films program

General Admission and VIP tickets on sale now!
