Double Brit Award winner Ben Howard joins clean seas campaigners to highlight valuable & vulnerable surfing communities
Today SAS Directors Hugo Tagholm and Andy Cummins met with MP Stephen Gilbert and ex SAS director and consultant Vicky Garner to discuss their ‘Protect Our Waves’ campaign which highlights the value of surfing waves and locations.
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) are pleased to welcome Cornwall Council as the first local authority to support the Protect Our Waves petition. Cornwall Council recently voted unanimously* to support the Protect Our Waves petition and recognised the vital work SAS has being undertaking to protect the valuable Cornish coastline over the last 23 years.
A classic right hander called Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight’s (IoW) is under threat from a proposed harbour development.

We are super excited about hosting the location of the SAS movie ‘Protect our Waves’ on Friday night.
It will be a great night of a double bill of surf movies and we hope to see you there.

Richard Stewart is the director of the new Surfers Against Sewage film ‘Protect Our Waves’, which is currently being screened around the country, and will be showing this Friday at Howies, Bristol, at 7pm.
This inspirational film captures some of the best waves and beautiful coastline around the country, but contrasts this with a strong environmental message, as you would expect from our homegrown ocean guardians. Drift managed to grab five minutes with Rich, to find out a little more about the man behind the film…
This Friday, 19 March at 7pm, come along to the Howies store on the Triangle (62 Queen’s Road, 0117 929 8928), Bristol, for a double bill of surf goodness.
