To raise funds, the South Florida Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation presents a special sneak-peek advance screening of Sipping Jetstreams, the new movie by renowned surf filmmaker Taylor Steele.
What is the Surfrider Foundation?
The Surfrider Foundation is a grassroots, non-profit environmental organization that works to protect our oceans, waves, and beaches. In 2006, the South Florida Chapter:
• Won battles to protect the public’s right to beach access in Dade County
• Implemented water quality testing at the Key Biscayne Nature Center and helped with mangrove restoration in the county
• Developed educational programs that teach schoolchildren the importance of Florida's unique watershed
• Helped launch a Broward County chapter
What is Sipping Jetstreams?
Taylor Steele's romantic surf novel was filmed during a two-year odyssey throughout the world’s most untouched destinations with today's best surfers. The film documents uncharted routes from Egypt to Greece, Italy to the Caribbean, Cuba to Japan -- all the while capturing the happenings and personalities of surfing's most sought-after athletes in ways never seen before. Featured pro surfers include Kelly Slater, Bruce and Andy Irons, Tim Curran, Shane Dorian, Dan Malloy, and Kalani Robb.
