Set against the rich hues of India, Beyond The Surface follows Ishita Malaviya, India’s first female surfer, and fellow wave riders Crystal Thornburg-Homcy, Liz Clark, Lauren Hill, Emi Koch, and Kate Baldwin. While on their journey through southern India, the women surfers and the people they meet share experiences and stories related to surfing, yoga, and ecological awareness, resulting in mutual feelings of hope, a fuel for change, and the empowerment of women. Highlighted by the undeniable power of surfing, Malaviya and her group of talented women search for the perfect waves as they forge with the people of India an unshakable determination to make the world a better place.

A Documentary film by Free Theo Production. Directed by Crystal Thornburg-Homcy and Dave Homcy.

Beyond The Surface received the "Best Cinematography" Award at the San Diego Surf Film Festival 2014 and has been screened at international film festivals worldwide.

Surfers and The Shaka Surf Club founders Ishita Malaviya and Tushar Pathiyan will be hosting the event and will be sharing their experiences in the making of this special film.

As an added plus, we will be kickstarting the night by screening the short film Hard Croak Cafe by award winning conservationist Ramit Singal. The film offers a short look at the amazing amphibian life on the laterite grasslands of Southern Coastal Karnataka. Largely ignored as wastelands, parts of the grasslands transform into wetlands during the monsoons to support a diverse amphibian population.

"My Laterite: My Habitat" is a project that aims to spread awareness about the biodiversity that exists in the laterite grasslands.

Tickets: Rs. 50 - will be available at the venue.
