CHICKS ON BOARDS are rebels on boards claiming freedom against all odds. Soon Sabah will ride her last wave in Gaza. She is going to get married. Then her husband will make decisions for her. Because Aneesha wants to become a surf-pro, she was expelled from her family in India.

Until Paige turned up. In England, Gwyn is making big waves without realizing it. She was the first in the water - and still is, at 72.
