Description

A surfboard is positioned in the center of a rectangular hole that resembles a grave. The surfboard has a white, ivory color. The walls of the grave are light brown and earthy in texture. The Surfers Against Sewage logo is visible in the upper right corner. Below the surfboard, text provides context, with the word "SURFING" in bold and the years "1890-2013." Additional text mentions "SEWAGE, LITTER, AND OFFSHORE DEVELOPMENTS" and encourages viewers to sign a petition at protectourwaves.org.uk. The image evokes a somber and serious mood.
