Poster for Surf Sisters. A smiling woman stands beside an open car door of a white vintage station wagon with a pink surfboard strapped to the roof rack, parked in a driveway. Playful, multicoloured hand-drawn title lettering appears above her.

Lara’s journey begins in the quiet aftermath of loss. After a 25-year marriage ended, she found herself in a new city, untethered and alone - until a simple piece of advice changed everything: find a community.

That search led her to the ocean. Learning to surf at 50, Lara discovered not only waves but a new sense of self. Through the Peninsula Surf Sisters and Maladiction Longboarders, she built deep friendships, courage, and joy.

SURF SISTERS follows her journey from heartbreak to saltwater healing, and celebrates the power of connection, reinvention, and the women who find strength - and sisterhood - in the sea.
