Hey guys!! Been planning to make this video for a while, but think it needs to be published now! Many waves around the world are at serious risk of extinction. This is due to coastal construction projects that are set to either completely bury or drastically alter top surf breaks. We’ve all seen the effects such projects can have in other examples of lost waves, but for many of these breaks, it’s not too late. And your signature/contribution really does make a difference.!
You can sign the petitions for each break via the links below (I’ve signed all of them). You can also make a financial contribution if you have the means (no pressure if you can’t). Please, like and share this video so we can spread the word and do what we can to save these waves!!

Here in Peru we have the "Ley de Rompientes". A law passed by the government to protect the waves where surfing takes place from any type of threat that could damage the bathymetry, ecosystem, swell dynamics, etc.. Other countries should replicate it

In the early 90s I lived in key largo and had a friend from there, Ken Page. His eyes would always light up talking about killer Dana! I shared an article about how the harbor was built and destroyed the wave. It broke his heart. I always regretted showing him that article. SAVE THE WAVES ❤

Hi, I’m a surfer from Lithuania. Even tho we don’t have the best waves but our main spot is melnrage pier which is planed on being expanded and what that does is it ruins all the ecosystem in 100km radius by limit the amount of sand supply which also ruins all of Lithuanian coast and a part of the Latvian and Estonian cost.

This is absolutely sad! But keep in mind that these projects often end up creating waves too. My local has had this happen recently. Local government decided to increase the port which meant dredging the river mouth. This has wrecked the old faithful wave on the north side of the jetty. But about a km up the beach a beautiful A frame appeared for about a month before a big swell damaged it. The real note to take is that with the river mouth dreged, swell is now able to make its way up the river. I heard legends of surfing in the river mouth back in the 90s, never thought I'd see it though. But low and behold, there were guys surfing it this weekend!

Thanks for the links it's rare for surf oriented companies to offer affordable for everyone not just the tour surfers one more thing Man is the biggest threat to mother nature and money is about the only thing to stop the destruction of our oceans Unfortunately it's that simple Be well my friend and we would also like to wish you continued success with all of your endeavors 👍🤙

Hi Dan can we get an update on the Teahupoo site planning some time soon . From viewing WSL comp over the last few years and watching many surf flics of Teahupoo the wave breaks as it unloads over the reef. How big is this judging tower they are planning to build !!!. Why do the Olympic Judges have different criteria to WSL judges !!. The WSL team have managed to judge and score the event perfectly normally for the last two decades craziness 😢

Hard balancing for many of these. Maldives people trying to balance great waves against staying above water. Costa Rica balancing great beaches vs giving locals a business that might get them out of poverty and pay for their kids to get to school. Very hard balancing act.

I’ve been surfing for 30 years and honestly we have much much larger environmental issues than saving some silly wave.

I think I commented on a couple of your other vids about the balance between localism and solidarity, in the access to and/or destruction of surfspots. In the UK the 'North Devon Surf Reserve' is supposed to offer some sort of protection of surfspots against development, but in so doing, they have shone an even brighter spotlight on quality spots like Lynmouth and Downend Point. I'm sure there was something similar discussed for Kimmeridge. Is the potential overcrowding a price worth paying for preservation? Similarly, whose going to want to support a quality spot, whose locals have shot themselves in the foot by alienating any visiting surfers? I kind of get the frustration of locals when visitors turn up being dicks, and some sort of order in the lineup is required... ...But alienate all potential visitors, and no one will give a fuck when a locals' homebreak is suddenly under threat from some new marine development or something. As you allude to in the Canaries, and Mexico. They'll need some exceptional spin doctoring rebranding of the bullying in order to garner wider support beyond the bubble then. I guess its not just commercial development that have affected the waves, natural and human disasters, from earthquakes (Indo) and oil spills and legislation (USA) to dynamiting (Hawaii) and dumping old cars (Italy) have all had there effects on destroying (and creating) waves.

Yeah, it's an incredibly tough one!! And I can see both perspectives... But I guess it all comes down to a balance and respect!

If surfers cared about teahupo in Tahiti then they would boycott the Olympics it's that simple don't go. Those waves gave them their livelihood and they are prepared to attend something that destroys it. Shows you how smart the professional surf community is.

Interesting video. I recollect you've asked for topics for 'mini documentaries'. Decent occasional waves in the Mediterranean might be one. I've visited my daughter and grandson in the south of France and there is a RU-vid video of an ok mal lefthander at the nearby cape (5 km from Cannes) for example.
