01/05/2008:// 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"
