“Into the Sea” out now!

We were stoked to host Director Marion Poizeau at the London Surf / Film Festival last year where she presented the world premiere of her perspective-shifting documentary “Into the Sea”. 

This critically acclaimed voyage of exploration and hope reveals the true power of the ocean so we’re stoked to hear that this must-see film is now available on VOD HERE.

The film follows Irish surf champion Easkey Britton to Iran, where she takes to the water in a hijab, to become the first woman to surf there. Invited to return by the country’s pioneering sportswomen, Easkey aims to introduce surfing to the women of Iran. How will the locals of this traditional area respond?

Marion Poizeau, Director of “Into the Sea” talks to London Surf / Film Festival founder Chris Nelson about the seeds of inspiration behind the project and the attraction of surfing in Iran.
