Short film by Now Now Media
Surfโs Up (For Real) is a true gem that captures the wild magic of surfing in Cape Townโs iconic waters. From sharks and seals to whales, South Africa is renowned for unforgettable marine encounters. But spotting a penguin surfing alongside humans? Thatโs something else entirely. This heart-warming short film follows a rare and playful moment that reminds us why the ocean continues to surprise, delight, and connect us all.

Documentary by Lewis Arnold, Chris Nelson, and Demi Taylor
The Big Sea is a powerful investigative documentary exposing the toxic link between neoprene wetsuit production and environmental racism. The film reveals how the surf industryโs reliance on synthetic rubber fuels deadly pollution in Louisianaโs infamous โCancer Alleyโ, an 85-mile industrial corridor with alarmingly high cancer rates. Featuring interviews with community activists, environmental scientists, and surf industry insiders, the film uncovers corporate greenwashing while challenging surfers to rethink their purchasing habits. It highlights sustainable alternatives such as plant-based Yulex wetsuits and calls for fundamental introspection within the global surf community. Four years in the making, The Big Sea is both a wake-up call and a rallying cry for ethical, sustainable surfing.
