:: VID :: Earth Hour - Night Surf

Earth Hour Night Surf from Nic Reeves on Vimeo.

Earth Hour is a global WWF climate change initiative where everyone is invited to switch off their lights for one hour on March 27 at 8.30 p.m to show their support for action on climate change. People across the world from all walks of life will turn off their lights and join together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Big Rock Boardriders decided to host a night surf between those hours to show their support.
