Impassioned surfer Taylor Lane builds a surfboard with 10,000 cigarette butts collected from California beaches to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic, plastic waste.

Overview

Impassioned surfer Taylor Lane builds a functional surfboard with 10,000 cigarette butts collected from California beaches. The Cigarette Surfboard becomes a platform to learn from professional surfers who are working to protect the ocean, and the symbol of a grassroots campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic, plastic waste. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal.

A review by n1silva
Written by n1silva on 2026-06-22
I am a public health professional working in tobacco education. I had the opportunity to watch the film last April in Sacramento (on an IMAX screen!). This documentary showed a piece of how the filmmakers' activism can lead to a monumental policy change that often takes us in the field decades to pass. Art has a unique way of depicting the challenges in our communities, but I say a piece because Taylor and Ben are still going. They have put a lot of effort into making sure this becomes a larger conversation and I look forward to seeing the impact for years to come.
