Carbon Offsetting and a Party (No surf though!)

What a rubbish month for surf. Apart from those 2 lovely days on the 30th and 31st March. But April has been dire, either flat or really windy, all in time for the start of the contest season! Hopefully it'll pick up soon.

In the meantime Helen and I have been busy working on ideas for the feature length version and doing some more filming.

This week we went to Bristol to interview Richard Whistance the founder of The C Change Trust, a carbon offsetting charity with a difference.

They're a UK based charity and the money goes towards re-establishing, planting and maintaining green spaces and native woodland. Renewable energy projects and educating school children.  Richard was great to interview and very passionate about sustainability and climate change I think he'll be great on screen I just don't envy Helen wading through what was a long and interesting interview and getting it down to a couple of minutes of screen time.

Tonight we're going to the Tonnau Surfers Ball at Langland, Gower. The magazine are organising a party at which we are screening some of the film so far and if we have time my surf film Grey Days.  Should be a good night and be good to get some feedback before we get going on the finished film.

I'll blog on how it goes and hopefully there'll be some surf by next week!
