Women Making Waves-BOOK

Women Making Waves celebrates the global sisterhood of surfing through the stories of twenty-six inspiring female surfers. Photographer and author Lara Einzig profiles women from the United States, Mexico, Australia, Senegal, Japan, France, the Philippines, and beyond—activists, artists, and athletes who are redefining what it means to ride waves. Meet Maya Gabeira, who surfed the biggest wave in 2020; Bonnie Wright, the British actress and activist; Risa Mara Machuca, who runs a free surfing camp for children in Mexico; and Zara Noruzi, an Iranian exile who discovered peace in Australian waters. Through candid interviews and stunning photography of beaches, surf breaks, and coastal communities, this book reveals how surfing transforms lives, builds resilience, and creates belonging. A powerful testament to the healing, joy, and strength women find in the ocean.
