In 1988, with the release of FILTHY HABITS, Billabong changed the surf video forever. Raw and unapologetic, FILTHY HABITS presented the untouchable Billabong team in a revolutionary formula that simply featured kick-ass surfing cut tightly to kick-ass music.

Twenty-one years later…Occy's still ripping, bands like T.S.O.L. and Social Distortion are still rockin' hard, and Billabong hasn't changed their filthy habits one bit... the result? STILL FILTHY is born!

Some don't even know how to swim, but their love for surfing brings them together and into a way of life they never even knew existed.

An ocean that was once deemed off limits due to fear and a very conservative Islamic culture is now becoming source of fun, escape and even a chance for a way to make a living. Follow professional surfer, Kahana Kalama (a past guest star of Fuel TV’s series On Surfari) as he works with Hawaiian-based non-profit, Surfing The Nations, and learns from these kids that sometimes, surfing involves much more than catching waves.

Surfers are a litmus test of the health of our oceans. Save The Waves Coalition's new film, All Points South, relates how surfers and fishermen in Chile are joining together to fight against rampant pollution from the pulp industry, and how consumers can help by making better choices when buying paper. From California to the long left points of Southern Chile, surfers increasingly find themselves in the line of fire between coastal waters and industrial pollution. In All Points South the journey takes us to Southern Chile, where pulp mill pollution threatens entire ecosystems, an ancient way of life, and threatens to tear apart a tight-knit fishing community. With world-class surfing at some of the planet's best point breaks, this is the story and journey of a group of surfers and their effort to expose the injustice being done by a powerful, worldwide industry.
