ORIGIN STORY

SeaSisters was founded in 2018 by Amanda Prifti and Martina Burtscher, who are also the co-producers of We Are Like Waves. 

 

They wanted to share SeaSisters’ and Sanu’s story in an authentic and collaborative way - that’s why they teamed up with director Jordyn Romero and producer Leah de Leon.

 

We Are Like Waves was initiated in partnership with SeaSisters, with the intent to inspire more diverse girls and women to get into surfing and follow their own path.
