Manufacturing Stoke

Surfing is linked to nature more than any other sport. Surfers rely on nature to do what they love, so unsurprisingly they are directly connected to the earth. However, a majority of materials used to produce surf products are environmentally toxic.

Manufacturing Stoke takes a look at the often overlooked impact the surf industry has on the environment and what members of the community are doing to make a positive change. A plethora of grass-roots up-and-comers are redefining what a surfer is supposed to ride. From wooden surfboards, hand-planes and alaias to recycled blanks and organic clothing, wave riding is taking on a new soul.

Directed by Michael Zavanagh, Manufacturing Stoke is an eye opener which, by the end will have you wanting to get involved in the movement yourself.
