Over the Undertow

Over The Undertow is a documentary short film that captures the essence of women’s surfing in Aotearoa. It follows the journey of four top young female surfers embarking on a surf trip across the North Island, while they anecdote and relate over their shared experiences in surfing. The film challenges perspectives and assumptions of women’s limits in surfing, whilst also highlighting how far women’s surfing has progressed, and encouraging a future generation of female surfers. The female experience can be as diverse as their natural surroundings, at once elegant and rugged, resilient and challenged.
