Everyone from their male counterparts, to the media and sponsors treated them like show ponies, dismissing their undoubtable talents on the board. At a time when the sport was rapidly turning pro, they were forced to wear impractical and demeaning gear, and compete for pitiful prizes. Directed by multiple award winner Christopher Nelius, Girls Can’t Surf features surfing greats Jodie Cooper, Frieda Zamba, Pauline Menczer, Lisa Andersen, Pam Burridge, Wendy Botha, Layne Beachley and more. This brand-new Australian documentary is a wild ride of clashing personalities, sexism, adventure, and heartbreak, with women surfers fighting against the odds – for decades – to make their dreams of competing on equal terms a reality. The inspiring true story of a group of rebellious female surfers in the 1980s who took on the male-dominated professional surfing world in a fight for inclusion, recognition, and equality.
