 Thanks to our generous partners for making the festival a reality.

PRESENTING SPONSOR OF ‘MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS FILM’ AWARD

Patagonia is pillar of activism in the surf and outdoor industry. They build the best products, cause no unnecessary detriment to the environment and have a lot of fun while doing it! Climate crisis is an existential threat, and every part of Patagonia’s business is implicated. We must radically reduce carbon emissions by transforming how we make our products. We must also double down on our work to help communities get off fossil fuels and protect nature, the original climate solution. www.patagonia.co.nz
