Testimonials:

"Well finally, after years of waiting and wishing, you and your friends have come through with a picture capturing the hearts and souls of true women of the ocean and surfing world, as I have always felt it to be, but thought I was alone and others didn't understand.  Your documentary captures it all with great narration to complete the picture.  I don't know if I ever met these women but I somehow live in them.  They are the real thing."
Marge Calhoun

"Girls have always gone surfing.  Ancient Hawaiian stories about women surfing better than the men started killing fueds amoug the alii.  Anyone who is a surfer knows that experience, technique and finesse count for more than simple brute strength, so why shouldn't women surf well?  Graciegirl/ Swell Pictures has a new film called "The Women and the Waves" that is a thoughtful and provocative look at a few women who surf very well.  Check it out and afterwards you may have to reassess the girls out in the line-up to give them their space based on ability and not on gender.  The fact is some of them may be able to surf circles around you."
Gerry Lopez

"This is certain to be a historic film about women in surfing. It's done in such a heartfelt way, superb editing and fantastic soundtrack" H.M.

"Salty, Surfy and Female!" S.S.

"It's a gem." S.W.

Surfer Magazine Review, August '09 Issue
"Through thought-provoking commentary, archival and modern footage, and interviews  with a handful of well-cast female surfers--former world champions Linda Benson and Kim Mearig, as well as upcoming pros and lifelong surfers-- this 48 minute film documents the evolution of female surfing.  Not focused on logos, it serves as a well-rounded, indie account of the estrogen-filled side of the sport."
