One Winter Story is 56min. documentary film that was produced and directed by Sally Lundburg & Elizabeth Pepin in 2006. We are super stoked to offer the DVD – a collector's item as these are the last we have!

“One Winter Story” is a 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. Experimentally shot in Super 8 and 16mm film, One Winter Story unfolds as a montage of sound and moving image, tracing 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.

Mill Valley Film Festival Review
Sarah Gerhardt became a star in the surfing universe in 1999 as the first woman to slice across a monster wave at Northern California’s legendary Maverick’s. Media coverage, sponsorship and adulation followed, but Sarah’s dramatic journey from poverty and despair to accomplishment and peace went unnoticed. One Winter Story traces Sarah’s strength 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. (Mill Valley Film Festival Review) – 56min, Super 8 & 16mm film
