Watch The Cigarette Surfboard – Online Film Premiere

Up to 4.5 trillion cigarette butts pollute our oceans and coastlines every single year—making them the most littered item on the planet. The Cigarette Surfboard takes viewers around the world via a functional surfboard built from 10,000 littered cigarette butts, following a journey to highlight ocean protection and environmental activism.

Featuring an inspiring cast of professional surfers and ocean advocates—including Easkey Britton, Fergal Smith, and Surfers Against Sewage (SAS)—the film takes a solution-driven, optimistic look at the future of our planet. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal: opening up the dialogue for anyone to take action in their personal lives and local communities.

"Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal—a solution-driven look at protecting our oceans."

Currents of Devotion

Currents of Devotion

Currents of Devotion follows the journey of French pro surfer Maud Le Car, who has dedicated her life to the ocean. After years in the intense world of competition, Maud is now fully embracing the world of free surfing—no longer chasing results, but simply enjoying the waves and giving back to the ocean that has given her so much.

Through her non-profit Save La Mermaid, Maud raises awareness among younger generations about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems. During a trip to Indonesia, she connects with a local skateboarding organisation that helps children build a better future. The film highlights the connection between the two projects—both rooted in the belief that following your passion, whether in the waves or on the streets, can lead to meaningful impact.

Through surfing and deep immersion in the local community, CURRENTS OF DEVOTION (12 min), directed by Arthur Génie, celebrates the power of human connection and the desire to protect what we love for future generations.

Less Than Easy – Albee Layer

Less Than Easy – Albee Layer

After living on this island for 33 years it can be easy to take everything about it for granted. Then every year it reminds me just how special it is. This year was no different. We worked really hard to look at waves with fresh eyes and new ideas and give our all to the spots that are a staple here. We got the best 5 day run of jaws waves I've ever seen in my lifetime ending with the biggest swell I have seen so far in my life. Was something special.

I also recently got my pilots license. That has giving me a new appreciation to all the island and how lucky all of us who call it home are.

So please enjoy "Less Than Easy" - Albee Layer

“Let me live”

Tom Lowes story of determination pioneering unwon waves and carving a career as a big wave surfers with all that comes with it directed by Keith Malloy is showing 26th June at St Ives Taproom, Hayle, Cornwall.

Save the date! We’re excited to be showing “Let Me Live” at St Ives Brewery this month. Created by award-winning director Keith Malloy, this new film from YETI celebrates St Ives Tom Lowe, and his unlikely journey from a small Cornish town to becoming one of the world’s best renowned big wave surfers!

Enigmatic big wave surfer Tom Lowe has followed his own path from the heart of Penwith, Cornwall to surfing’s highest level through grit and determination – with a little help from his friends.

Cutting his teeth in Ireland and pioneering unknown waves with a small group of surfers, Tom found meaning in pushing himself to the limit, and sometimes beyond. In 2023, Tom hit the reef hard at Teahupo’o and sustained critical injuries. “After surgery, lung treatment and a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding, a broken scapula, and many broken ribs, I truly do feel lucky to have made it,” he said.

Featuring the likes of Fergal Smith and renowned, multi-faceted creative Mickey Smith, this film is as much an exploration of community and kinship as it is about Tom.

‘Sandbagging Jimmy Chin’ will also be showing.

Yeti have also supported the event, with a whole load of products to giveaway. St Ives Brewery Taproom in Hayle is an insane venue to spend the evening, and we’ll be joined by Ruby Junes serving up some incredible Indian cuisine too.

Come down, join us for a few beers, and a couple of epic films!

See you there

 

 

Surrender

Surrender

This passion project was filmed in Bali at the end of 2024 by the talented Lucien Michiels and Noémie Kreitlow. With a clear vision in mind, they reached out to connect, and from the first conversation, we clicked. We talked about life, purpose, and creativity, and it just felt natural to collaborate.

I love crossing paths with passionate souls. We shared stories, laughters, and a deep moments along the way. What came out is something really honest and close to my heart.

This is a piece of my story.
One wave at a time, surfing helped me come back to myself.
