One Winter Story (2006)
Tough Woman, Hard Life, Awesome wave
I had to write this review as I completely disagree with the previous review. I just watched 20 latest release surf movies for a festival I am running and only 3 stick in my mind, this was one of them. She is not your average blond tanned privileged beach bunny. And what she managed was incredible. And where she came from was gut wrenching. Im not really sure what the previous reviewer was doing - surfing is inherently a selfish sport; and belongs to mavericks, it is rarely a team event. Witness what happens when someone hurts themselves in Indo - some line up to help get the hapless victim on a plane; giving up their own journey and others go quiet and hide in their huts until the hurt one is carted off. This movie shows the hurt this woman suffered; and the love and achievement she managed despite it. Plus I am virulently anti Christian (cant help it) and a scientist too - and this woman is a Christian and a scientist; so I admire her. Please don't listen to the last reviewer. If you admire tenacity; devotion and success through trial after trial; watch this.
