Documentary Premier: Bimini to Miami Blue, with Surfrider Foundation
The environmental foundation Surfrider invites everyone to watch the free premiere of their new documentary, Bimini to Miami Blue, which follows two members of Surfrider, Bill Whiddon and Thad Foote become the first people ever to cross the Gulf Stream on paddleboards. The 60+ mile journey lasted just over 17 hours.
"It was paddle, hydrate, eat and paddle more,” Whiddon, 58, said in a
press release. “We did battle with a 40-minute squall within the first
hour of leaving the Bahamas, and the seas went from flat to 3-foot
swells breaking into us.”
The two men met the challenge to raise awareness for Surfrider's Rise Above Plastics campaign (RAP). This campaign is to help push Florida legislature to adopt a new statewide recycling goal of 75% by 2020. Read more about the importance of this goal here.
