All ticket, donations and drink sales will go towards supporting the Surfrider Foundation Canada, University of Victoria Chapter. Surfrider is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches, for all people. Totoganashi Surfer and self-proclaimed former “delinquent” Yusei Ikariyama grew up in the warm tropical waters of Amami Ōshima, the largest island in Japan’s Amami archipelago known for its surfable waves and thriving coral reefs. But when industrial development threatens the coastline and its biodiverse ecosystems, he spearheads a movement to save his homeland. Patagonia Films’ documentary short Totoganashi follows Yusei’s evolution from pro surfer and father to the founder of NEDI, a nonprofit named for the space where the ocean intertwines with the land. Inspired by the local saying, “one fight bleeds for three generations,” he realizes that to keep this shared coastline healthy, he must first unite his community. Never Town Part surf film and part conservation film, Never Town explores Australia’s remote southern coastlines—and what surfers are willing to do to keep them wild. From the dusty edges of South Australia to the deep forests of Victoria and Tasmania, Never Town features the surfing of Dave Rastovich, Dan Ross, Belinda Baggs and Heath Joske. It’s a rallying cry for surfers and local communities to stand together in defense of the places they love.
