Take The Pledge

Take the pledge to not buy Neoprene products again. Neoprene is not just in wetsuits, it is also in leashes, fin socks, wetsuit boots, gloves plus lots of other related products like some car seat covers. However there are natural rubber alternatives that are just as good. Make the pledge to go Neoprene free on your social media and help surfing give up its toxic addiction. Find us @thebigseaorg Use the hashtag: #SayNoToNeoprene and tag us in at #TheBigSea Sign up to our newsletter for more.

Support the Kickstarter

The Big Sea is an independently funded film. We’ve launched a Kickstarter to support the post-production, help pay for our fixed costs such as legals, insurance, sound design, score, graphic design, digital presence and festival screenings. We’ll also be using funds to help spread the message to the surfing world and beyond. We have some incredible rewards lined up for backers from some of the finest Yulex natural rubber wetsuits and leashes to limited edition Tees and more. Thank you for your support.
