Description
The photo was taken in the beautiful sunrise on the Australian coastline, as my friend Jack paddled out for a morning surf. Plastic pollution is a big problem in Indonesia and the rest of the SouthEast Asian islands. Nobody likes to paddle out for a surf first thing in the morning and grab plastic bags, masks, and bottles. And that is only the first layer. The problem dives much deeper.
I created this print with the idea of raising awareness about plastic pollution. All of the profits from this print go directly to Surfrider Foundation. That’s right, zero profit. Let’s clean up our mess!

An example of what they do
Over 150 Surfrider members, industry leaders and surf ambassadors traveled to Washington D.C. on February 26-28 to meet with federal leaders about ways to protect our ocean, waves, and beaches. Participants visited 145 Senate and House offices to urge immediate action on climate change, plastic pollution, water quality and other key issues affecting our coasts and ocean.
Surfrider and our partners also participated in high-level meetings with White House officials and the Senate Democrats Committee on the Climate Crisis to advocate for federal action to protect our coasts and ocean. These discussions were a timely opportunity to remind our federal leaders that over 100 million Americans visit the beach each year supporting 2.4 million jobs and contributing over $124 billion to our nation’s gross domestic product.
