Sometime in the 90’s myself and friend Ian Battrick spent way too much time living in Bundoran. Every autumn for a couple fo years were spent strolling across fields and surfing and filming waves there. It was never as good as we’d hoped, but it fired up a quest to get out to the remoter […]

As the final version of our book hits the streets, and we get ready for the next (surprising) but very exciting phase of this project, here’s a few statistics from Dispatches From A plastic Planet – Number of beaches shot – 196 Number of surf breaks surfed – 71 Number of countries visited – 6 […]

We want to use this platform to publicise all the good thats going on. We have spent so much time spreading the negativity about the global destruction of plastic over the last ten years, but over this time there are so many positives, from big and small companies that have made a huge difference. So […]

Since living in France I have been shocked by the amount of Dolphins/Porpoises that have washed up on French beaches, I figured it was partly due to the position, but as I’ve researched it, it becomes more and more obvious that it is largely due to intensive fishing in The Bay Of Biscay.

You have to look at whatever you’re doing analytically at every turn, doesn’t matter what you’re doing if you want to achieve something you’ve just got to be super self critical. One thing that is really clear from being involved in the fight against plastic and by proxy climate change, is that small changes alone […]

  Bottom line is we have to stop the flow, not find solutions as to what to do with it, and as a big consumer of plastic places like the UK and US etc. need to front up and sort this out, not send it to other countries where it is out of sight out […]

Seen North of the Sun? If you haven’t then you need to, it’s one of the best surf films of all time here’s the link to the Vimeo on demand page – LINK. Well we hiked into a beach in Arctic Norway where we thought their cabin may have been, but didn’t totally expect it […]

Over the last five years we have silently distributed over 1600 images of pollution, surfing and adventure to educational establishments worldwide. Through this we have reached around about 3 million young people, plus a whole load more through talks and films. This resource is vast, and up until this month has sat on a drop […]

One storm, one dump of rubbish, on one of the world’s best beach breaks. From waves of plastic on New Years Day to a beach full of the stuff three days later, doesn’t get much worse than this in Europe.
