Female big wave surfers get their due in documentary

There have been any number of surfing documentaries, but not that many about female surfers and probably just one about the women who surf the cold, gray waters off Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

The 70-minute film by Dayla Soul focuses on a half-dozen big wave surfers who paddle out to the Red Triangle.

Great white sharks patrol these waters, and the only bikinis are in footage that takes down the “Gidget” stereotype.

There is a Mavericks board cam, a guitar-heavy soundtrack and a cool setting at the Great Star Theatre in Chinatown.
