This surfing documentary is about love, friendship and following your dreams. Directed by Claire Gorman, who despite her young age has already made a string of great docos, alongside producers Clare Plueckhahn and Fran Derham. Come and join three friends on their trip to Hawaii and follow their quest to become pro-surfers.
Seventeen year old Jess Laing has grown up surfing with and competing against her two friends Nikki van Dijk and India Payne on Victoria's picturesque Phillip Island. They're all sponsored, surf the same breaks and live within ten minutes of each other. The girls are different in their own ways, but one thing's for sure, they all love the same thing. These focused teenagers are determined to find a way to do the one thing they love for the rest of their lives, and the first step is to conquer the world famous waves of Hawaii. Discover the trials and tribulations of training and competitions.
If you aren't already, you'll fall in love with surfing and these determined young girls.
+ Q&A session to follow screening.
