"In this innovative narrative documentary, a fifth- generation California surfer girl sets out on a journey into the soul of surfing, seeking answers to life's mysteries in Australia and New Zealand. After a series of mishaps, Australian pro surfer Pauline Menczer takes her under her wing for an inside look at the life and the making of a champion. What she discovers has little to do with the elusive perfect wave or pipe dreams. Events unfold rapidly as unexpected comedic twists and heart-pumping turns take her down the less-traveled path. As Pauline and the pro tour depart for Fiji, the surfer girl house-sits at the bottom of New Zealand, where she encounters snowy sheep, gale force winds, men who shape boards out of felled trees and the love of her life. Just as she holds tight to her newfound happiness, the seams unravel. She takes solace in the source of the ocean, and in doing so, discovers answers within.Featuring music by: Felix Babauta Jr. for High House Productions, J Scott Bergman, Alina Ferrell, Gary Jules, Nowadaze, Julianna Raye, Bernie Reilly, Tony Riparetti, SALMONELLA DUB, Starmy, and The Ziggens.

Super-slow documentary of a less promoted female surf championJul 28, 2009
By West Coast Surf Mama Not your usual surf film. If you are just looking for lots of waves, fun music and great maneuvers, this is not the film for you. The film goes through a daily routine of professional (yet unsponsored) surf champion Pauline Menczer with other female surfers, and makes a great point that it is completely wrong that a female surfer of this caliber has not received a sponsor. It demonstrates the lack of support for women's as compared to mens surfing. Unfortunately, between the lengthy unnecessary off-beach scenes and the annoyingly feminine commentary, it was difficult for my husband and I to sit through, unlike the other 20+ quality surf films we own. I will most likely give it away, but at least it made a good point.
