The Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation’s Surf n’ Stewardship Film Series is back. This year’s series, themed “Women and the Sea”, features three films directed by women.

All films will be held at Rogue Brewers on the Bay (2320 SE Marine Science Dr, Newport,) at 6 p.m. (doors at 5:30 p.m.). They are encouraging you to wear a tiki shirt to the first two screenings for a great beer discount as part of Rogue’s Tiki Tuesday. Admission is free (donations accepted). 

All screenings will begin with a brief presentation about the Newport Chapter of Surfrider Foundation, focusing on how you can get involved with their mission to protect and enjoy our oceans, waves, and beaches.The Surfrider Foundation is a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches.
