SAVE THE WAVES TAKES HOME BEST SHORT FILM AWARD:

Save The Waves is very proud to announce that our documentary All Points South received the Best Short Film award at the New York Surf Film Festival 2009. Many thanks to the NYSFF, for producing yet another stellar festival!

All Points South follows the story of surfers and fishermen activists in Chile and their struggle against forestry industry pollution of coastal waters and waves. Film director Sachi Cunningham commented from Los Angeles, California about the award: "We're thrilled with the recognition and hope that it inspires surfers everywhere who are concerned about the environment to not only think globally about our oceans' health, but also act locally to keep their breaks clean.”
