Coastal conservation collective Save the Waves has a touring film festival which WLI members in coastal areas may be interested in hosting, especially if surfing is popular nearby. They ask for a minimum donation of USD 350.

The organisers say it features inspiring nonfiction and documentary films on surf and water sports, travel and adventure, conservation and climate.

They outline the process:
