GRLSWIRL | Swirl Effect

"Swirl Effect: The Grlswirl Story" highlights how Grlswirl made history by transforming their community and the face of skate through their grassroots efforts.

Through their work, they raised over 40k for local charities, taught hundreds of kids skateboarding, and empowered thousands of women to embrace each other and come together to skate around the globe. The documentary also delves into the parallel story of how Carver Skateboards overcame skepticism from the core surf and skate community and revolutionized the world of surfskating. And despite facing initial resistance, how Carver's innovative trucks became the worldwide leader of the surfskate movement.

Directed by Carver’s Gabriel Nakamura, with writing, editing, and production support from Makewild’s Seth C Brown.
