One Winter Story Review
One Winter Story Feature
- One Winter Story is an unprecidented cinematic glimpse into the male-dominated world of big-wave surfing from an unusual and seldom seen perspective - a woman's. This hour-long film explores the life of big-wave surf pioneer and Ph.D scientist, Sarah Gerhardt, a relative unknown who made surfing history in 1999 as the first woman to surf Maverick's, the giant wave in Northern California. O
Sarah Gerhardt became a star in the surfing universe in 1998 as the first woman to slice across a monster wave at Northern California's legendary Maverick's. Media covereage and adulation followed, but Sarah's dramatic journey frompoverty and despair to accomplishment and peace went unnoticed. One Winter Story traces Sarah's faith and determination to their roots in a beautiful montage of film,voice, memory and emotion. The surfing footage is an awesome sight but the fine, intensely immediate rendering of Sarah's experience is this unforgettable films real reward.
