Women Making Waves

A celebration of the global sisterhood of surfing, Women Making Waves profiles twenty-six inspiring female surfers from around the world. Featuring women from the United States, Mexico, Australia, Senegal, Japan, France, the Philippines, and beyond, Lara Einzig shares the stories of athletes, artists, activists, and community leaders who are finding strength, joy, and connection through the water.

Through candid interviews and immersive photography, the book highlights the journeys of remarkable women including Maya Gabeira, a Brazilian woman who surfed the biggest wave of anyone in 2020; Bonnie Wright, the actress, activist, and author; Risa Mara Machuca, founder of a free surfing camp for children in Mexico; and Zara Noruzi, an Iranian exile who found healing and peace through surfing in Australia.
