Oct 9, 10 - One Winter Story

Award-winning documentary, One Winter Story, will be showing at La Perla Del Mar on October 9th and 10th. Filmmakers and subject of film will be present for Q&A. Benefits SLO Women's Shelter.

One Winter Story is an hour-long documentary that 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. Using a montage of film and voice, "One Winter Story" traces Sarah's dramatic journey from poverty and despair to faith and forgiveness as she struggles to find her place both in the line up, and in the world.

Sarah grew up in the San Luis Obispo area, learned to surf there, and was so inspired by a local chemistry teacher that she decided to pursue the subject at Cal Poly, studying physical chemistry, and eventually attaining a doctoral degree in Santa Cruz.
