South West brewery Sharp's raised more than £1,200 for charity and campaigning group Surfers Against Sewage with a series of film nights held across the county.

The Doom Bar Big Wave Film Nights totted up a total of £1,264 from ticket sales, collections and a raffle at its three surf movie screenings in Truro, Padstow and Porthcurno.

Cornish cinema chain WTW Cinemas, which runs the Plaza at Truro and Padstow's Cinedrome, held screenings of big wave surf movies Riding Giants and Billabong Oddysey. Ticket sales from these screenings alone raised £955 for SAS.

The third event, an outdoor screening of chilled out surf flick Sprout, was held at Porthcurno Telegraph museum.

The evenings also featured screenings of the H30 Project, a short film made by Porthleven based Shark Bay Films about UK Big Wave surfing. The film features Cornish surfer Dan "Mole" Joel Cornish who is sponsored by the Brewery and recently set the record for the biggest wave ever surfed in the British Isles, a fifty footer off the West Coast of Ireland.

James Nicholls, head of sales and marketing at Sharp's Brewery, which is an existing sponsor of SAS, said: "The Doom Bar Big Wave Film Nights has been a phenomenal success, and we are keen to hold some similar events in the future. We share the SAS ethos of working towards clean and safe waters and these events have been great opportunity to work together."

Siobhan Keyes, fundraiser for SAS, said: "The Big Wave Film Nights went down a storm, and the fundraising total of £1,264 is an incredible result. We really look forward to working with Sharps again and are delighted they have pledged their support for future projects".
