Over the years, Maverick's has become the place where big wave surfers come to test their skills in some of the harshest surfing conditions in the world.

Her journey takes viewers from one fantastic surfing local to another-from the frigid and challenging conditions off the coast of Central California, to the massive walls of water on the Outer Reefs of Hawaii, and finally, to the ominous surfing conditions at Maverick's in Northern California. Through it all, we feel Sarah's love for this sometimes very dangerous sport. We share her fear and frustration, and then her determination to plunge into a traditionally male-dominated arena.
