2:30pm – The Cigarette Surfboard

Director: Ben Judkins

Yes, the titular surfboard in question was a prototype invented by Taylor Lane back in 2017 made up mostly of thousands of carelessly discarded cigarette butt filters for a creators contest cosponsored by Jack Johnson’s Surfrider Foundation. What happened to that winning entry makes up the bulk of this fascinating documentary as Tate continues to use the items of pollution as inspiration and statement to make a lighter, functional surfboard with the help of professional shapers and surfers.
