The Stories of Surfing Possibility Revealed
Surfing Possibility is a co-produced project by Brown Girl Surf TM and Storytellers for Good involving the creation of two short-form documentary profiles, blogs and photographs on South Asia’s surfer girls. We started working on Surfing Possibility in the Spring of 2012 and traveled to South Asia in the Fall of 2012 for the project. Our shorts debuted at Patagonia, San Francisco on October 8, 2013 in honor of International Day of the Girl.
You can view our videos as well as footage from the Patagonia event below. Be sure to check out the surprising back stories to these short films as well. We invite you to share your thoughts and join in the discussion on women and girls' storytelling in surfing on our online forum!
