Movers and Shapers

A short documentary about the ways a new wave of surfers and shapers on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way are transforming their industry to make it more sustainable. SYNOPSIS: Surfers love the ocean: they love the wind and the waves. They love nature. And yet, most surfboards are a threat to the ecosystems around them. “Every piece of kit” the average surfer owns is petrol-based and “really, really toxic.” Now that all looks set to change in one small pocket of the west coast of Ireland. This short documentary meets the Irish surfers and shapers using everything from wine corks to wood as they try to find new and innovative ways to make their boards more sustainable.
