The sport of big wave surfing has exploded in popularity thanks to surfing’s inclusion in the Tokyo and Paris Olympics and documentaries like 100 Foot Wave and Life of Kai.

But where are the women?

Award-winning filmmaker Sachi Cunningham takes you on an intimate journey with four of the best female big wave surfers in the world and their quest for inclusion and equal pay in one of the most dangerous sports on earth.

Surfers Bianca Valenti, Keala Kennelly, Paige Alms, and Andrea Möller's surprising, history-making journey is only the beginning of what becomes their ultimate mission: equity for women in sports and for all.

What is the message you want to send our youth?

Representation matters. It’s no secret that women athletes are paid much less than men. The imbalance in pay and participation persists not only for athletes but also for female coaches, administrators and sports executives, who comprise only a small percentage of the whole. Media coverage and sponsorship of women’s athletics is also paltry. 94% of C-Suite Executives who are women played sports in their youth, yet girls drop out of sports at a rate twice that of boys by the age of 16, according to the Women's Sports Foundation. We strive for a world where everyone's potential can be realized, which we believe will collectively unlock progress for us all.

If you believe in the power of documentary film to change hearts and minds, join our mission.

This isn’t just about the right to dream big and compete on the world stage but about friendship, resilience, and the power of coming together to create change. Your generous funding will support our award-winning team to finish this film and get it out into the world where it can create long-lasting change. We have an accompanying impact campaign that will ensure that this story not only entertains, but builds on the current momentum in women's sports.
