Mother Ocean

After finding peace and happiness in the ocean following an injury, local journalist Molly Paige looks into why more women are going into the ocean. She discovers prominent local surfer Andrea Kabwasa whose life was also changed by the ocean. Andrea is a water woman, a celebrated longboard surfer, artist, and accomplished teacher. Andrea takes us on her journey going back more than 20 years through surf culture as a Black woman, a water woman, a teacher, an artist, and one who is continuing to grow, change and unfold. Andrea believes the act of surfing is not a sport but rather a deeply creative and mindful practice.
