Big Wave Women

BIG WAVE WOMEN follows four game-changing athletes, in and out of the water, as they smash the glass ceiling of big-wave surfing and ignite a global push for equal pay in sport. 

 

A gripping story of courage, conviction, and collective power, it shows what happens when sisterhood meets grit—when women unapologetically ask for what they want and what they’re worth, all while dropping into the biggest waves on earth.

Award-winning filmmaker Sachi Cunningham takes us 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.

The sport of big wave surfing has exploded in popularity thanks to surfing’s inclusion in the Tokyo and Paris Olympics and HBO's 100 Foot Wave. But where are the women?
