THE STORY:
Once there was a young girl named Marin
who loved the sea. As fate would have her
family moved away from the big city to Costa
Rica, a beautiful, nature-rich land, settling
on the shores of a beautiful and serene bay.
Inspired by watching her father and the
playful dolphin surf the beautiful waves near
their home, Marin begins to imagine what it
would be like for her to ride her own waves.
But she is young and still unsure if she can,
until one night when she has a dream that
changes her life forever.
“Marin’s Wave” follows the journey and
adventures of Marin in this wondrous land
as she learns about herself, the ocean and
her connection to the natural world around
her. Her path to riding her own wave and
becoming a real surfer like her father, is
gradual, but with his guidance she learns the
“art” of surfing and in the process, the
important life lessons and responsibilities
that go along with being a young person in
the world today. Together with her parents,
her best buddy, their wolfdog Oso and her
favorite horses, she lives everyday to the
fullest, exploring the magical land in which
she lives, learning its secrets and trying to
appreciate every day with her family as
one of life’s greatest gifts.
