For one night only, join the artists, designers, and conservationists behind The Cigarette Surfboard for a special popup exhibit in Tyrrell Park!
For the first time, see all 10 beautifully decorated cigarette surfboards on display in one place, meet the masterminds behind this gnarly approach to tackling marine microplastics, and enjoy beverages and light bites while taking in a Seabright Beach sunset.
More about The Cigarette Surfboard: After a young designer realizes that a surfboard – which he crafted from thousands of littered cigarette butts picked up off California beaches – could captivate the eyes of millions across the globe, he decides to use it as the impetus to do something more. The Cigarette Surfboards have become a platform to spark ocean stewardship and the symbol of a campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic, plastic waste. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal.
