FCD friend, Kyle, wants you to become more conscious of where your money is going. Not the money that you're spending but the money that you're saving in the bank.
A surf trip down to Chile, and a little investigating, helped Kyle to learn that the 6 month CD from his local mega-bank was funding the development of a coal fired power plant. Check out the video and learn what you can do to help.

Aloha, Rell!Please join us this March 28, 2009 for another special screening of the multi-award winning documentary film on the life of Rell Kapolioka'ehukai Sunn, the Queen of Makaha. You'll laugh, cry and be inspired by her amazing journey. Often referred to as the "Queen of Makaha," Rell was the quintessential water-woman, excelling at all watersports, including surfing, bodysurfing, spearfishing, and open-water outrigger canoeing. In the early 70's, Rell was instrumental in establishing the Women's Professional Surfing Association and founding the women's pro surfing tour in which she twice finished third in the year end rankings. Despite all of her accomplishments, Rell Sunn remained a completely humble and unselfish person, and might easily have been called the "Queen of Aloha" for the spirit she carried with her, and the enthusiasm she devoted to every aspect of her life.

In 1968, Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins set out to surf, ski and climb their way to Patagonia. The wild places they found later motivated them to protect the environment. Inspired by this journey, Jeff Johnson and Woodshed Films set sail on a voyage to South America to climb a mythical peak called Corcovado with Chouindard and Tompkins.
