- 13 years ago
One Winter Story on DVD. The inspiring journey of big-wave pioneer and scientist Sarah Gerhardt. A film by Sally Lundburg and Elizabeth Pepin. Shot in 16mm and Super 8 film. One ordinary woman. One extraordinary wave...
"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 coverage and adulation followed, but Sarah's dramatic journey from poverty 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 film's real reward." -D.Quinones, Mill Valley Film Festival, 2006
