Plot summary

It’s the 1980s and the world of professional surfing is a circus of fluorescent colors, peroxide hair and radical male egos. "Girls Can't Surf" follows the journey of a band of renegade surfers who took on the male-dominated professional surfing world to achieve equality and change the sport forever. Featuring surfing greats Jodie Cooper, Frieda Zamba, Pauline Menczer, Lisa Andersen, Pam Burridge, Wendy Botha, Layne Beachley and more, "Girls Can't Surf" is a wild ride of clashing personalities, sexism, adventure and heartbreak, with each woman fighting against the odds to make their dreams of competing a reality.

Girls Can't Surf was, like many adventure documentaries

Girls Can't Surf was, like many adventure documentaries, well produced using a variety of historical footage and interviews. It didn't hit home quite as hard as Maiden (2019) which I found absolutely spectacular. I wish we could have seen more of the surfing performance from the athletes and witnessed perspectives from more other people (ie- event organisers). It translated a vibe quite well, but didn't pull you in quite as deep as it could have - but again, perhaps it's because of continued failures by the committee and an underwhelming feeling that things haven't quite changed as much as we would want.

Amazing documentary. It was I nteresting even for

Amazing documentary. It was I nteresting even for a person who doesn’t follow surfing. Really showed how unfair it was for women during the time period the documentary focuses on.
