All around the world and in Europe, surfers started fighting against widely unknown cases of pollution in our seas. The documentary White Waves tells their stories. About a special love to the sea.

Litter, wastewater, industrial products and chemicals - it is all ending up in the sea. This is often happening without anybody hearing anything about it. But there are some people that observe and feel the pollution day by day with their own body: surfers. As soon as there is some swell they grab their board and ride the waves, in winter and summer. Water is their life. And they want to protect it.

Their love of nature and the water gives them the strength to go out, investigate and search for the source of the pollution. They start talking to people who were involved, to politicians and to the industry. They even initiate scientific studies in the sea and in rivers. If necessary they go to court.

They want to surf white waves again.
