Emma C @RT02684898 4h A beautifully-crafted surfing film to ensnare surfers and non-surfers alike. The hopeful through line of environmental activism is a breath of fresh air. The Ciggy Surfboard is a perfect blend of far-flung footage that makes you want to be there, humorous characters and policy education. Don't miss it! See more Jess S @jessswigs 20h At a time when doom and gloom stories are all too common, The Cigarette Surfboard is a breath of fresh air. We need films like this that keep communities inspired and hopeful as we build the more beautiful world we all know is possible. I came upon the film at Wild & Scenic Film Festival in Nevada City, CA and had the pleasure of meeting the filmmaker as well (plus got a photo with the famous ciggy surfboard!) You can tell when a creator cares deeply about their work and it's a joy as an audience member to experience it. See more Lucy D @RT09308574 1d The Cigarette Surfboard is an inspiring film that shows how creativity, persistence, and community engagement can drive meaningful environmental change. By tackling cigarette butt pollution through an innovative and hopeful lens, the film encourages viewers to think differently about waste, policy, personal responsibility, and environmental stewardship. During our screening at the College of Charleston, the film sparked thoughtful conversations among students, faculty, community members, and environmental professionals. It inspired action, highlighted practical ways individuals can make a difference, and demonstrated the importance of collaboration in addressing environmental challenges. The storytelling is engaging, approachable, and optimistic without oversimplifying the issue. The Cigarette Surfboard is an outstanding educational resource and a compelling example of how storytelling can motivate positive change and build more environmentally conscious communities.

The film was a beautiful combination of a young man's personal story to clean up the beach and make a difference in his community, and an expose on the tobacco industry, combined with glorious footage of beautiful ocean environments. I'm not a surfer, but I felt like I could feel the ease and flow of surfing in this film. The combination of care for community and the wider world, the real activist struggle of making a difference in the world, and the pure joy of sport made this an engaging, uplifting experience. See more Donald L @Dondon888 1d Very entertaining and educational. This film follows the parallel stories of the creation of the Cigarette Surfboard and the environmental impact of filtered cigarettes. Beautifully filmed, great music and a compelling story. This one is a must see! See more Josh B @RT14714519 2d This film was thought provoking and took us on a journey that everyone need to follow at least once. How the surfboard developers showcase their various challenges and how they overcame them is an inspiring tale worthy of our time and attention. See more Read all reviews
