Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) campaigners take to the road next month for a western seaboard leg of The Grassroots Tour.

Each year SAS plan a weeklong tour that visits key watersport sites up and down the country. Over the last few years we’ve been the length and breadth of the country and met some great people that are passionate about protecting and improving their coastal environment for all to enjoy.

This year’s tour takes place from the 12th - 16th May and the venues are as follows:

12th May - The White Lion, North Street, BRAUNTON, EX33 1AJ
13th May - Glan-Y-Mor Inn, Caerfi Road, ST DAVIDS, SA62 6QT
14th May - The Harbour Hotel, ABERSOCH, Pwllheli, LL53 7HR
15th May - The Centre For Contemporary Arts, 350 Sauchiehall Street, GLASGOW, G2 3JD
16th May - The Watersports Centre, East Strand, PORTRUSH

Talks run from 7pm - 10pm.

With our watery ‘playgrounds’ under threat, find out how issues like climate change and marine litter are choking our blue planet, from the clean water campaigners at SAS.

Discover the key pollution issues of tomorrow, learn more about the behind the scenes creative campaigning that’s getting results and watch an inspiring environmental surf documentary!

Richard Hardy, SAS Campaigns Director says: ”If there’s one talk you go to this year as a ‘recreational water user’ then this should be it! (Even it’s 6 foot and offshore!)”

This year’s tour is supported by Patagonia Footwear. Thanks to them we will be raffling off a pair of Patagonia Shoes each night. Patagonia are longstanding supporters of SAS’s campaigning and we’re stoked to have them helping us with this year’s tour. They’ll also be giving away a brand new Eco-board at the end of May to one lucky person who makes it a long to one of the tour nights, so make sure you come along if you want a chance to win one of the most environmentally friendly surfboards out there.

Duncan Holme from Patagonia Footwear says: “Patagonia Footwear is proud to be supporting Surfers Against Sewage and helping us all to think about our environmental footprint” 

Found on beaches everywhere, these boards are extremely versatile, easy to use, and accomodate beginning and experienced surfers alike. Push the limits and progress with a NSP Funboard, possibly the best-valued, most fun, epoxy surfboard on the market.

NSP 6′8
A worldwide favorite, the 6′8″ is a versatile design that packs a punch. Experts will be surprisedat the performance and balance,not too big, not too small. Intermediates will love the forgiving characteristics and surfability. A great choice as a first boardfor the groms or surfers looking for a full body design to put the fun back in their surfing.

NSP 7′2
The 7′2″ is a racy fun shape that caters to a wide range of riders. It’s a well-balanced board that surfs great regardless of yourskill. Whether you are an experienced surfer looking for a fuller fun shape or a novice wanting a little more size for comfort,this design has become a favorite in the NSP range.

NSP 7′6
The 7′6″ is a nicely balanced, wonderfully styled tri-fin egg that performs like a gem. Perfect as a longboard for groms or an all-around funboardfor intermediates, it continues to provide great fun for all who ride it. This is an ideal board for the recreational or weekend surfer whojust wants to have fun.

NSP 7′10
The 7′10″ puts the “fun” in Funboards. An all-around board that works equally well cruising the small stuff with lightweights or driving downthe line with larger riders, don’t let its racy looks fool you. While this hotrodis performance-oriented, it’s forgiving enough forlearning too. This design is a single board quiver for many NSP surfers.For more information and board specifications visit the New Surf Project website
