Maddie Meddings
DOP and Co-director
Maddie is a surf, travel and lifestyle photographer and filmmaker, based on the weather beaten bluffs of North Cornwall, UK. Maddie’s work embodies the coastal experience, whether that’s taking a glimpse beneath its waters, swimming the seemingly infinite shoreline or, of course, surfing its scabrous seas. With a penchant for all things outdoors, Maddie aims to capture the utilisation of the wildest corners and those that reside there.
Lucy and Maddie have previously created an award winning film called Yama, that follows Lucy to Ghana to meet up with a pioneering group of female surfers and skateboarders.

Lucy Small
Producer and Co-director
Lucy was brought into the spotlight in 2021 when she called out the organisers of a surf contest in Sydney for awarding less than half of the prize money to the women than the men in a video that went viral and made global news headlines. Since then, Lucy has continued to shine a light on issues of gender equality in sport through her campaign Equal Pay for Equal Play.
Lucy was the first longboarder on the cover of the iconic masthead Tracks in a shot that was the first time two women (surfer and photographer) had teamed up for the cover of Tracks in its 50 year history. Lucy has been a WSL Longboard World Tour competitor and represented Australia in the ISA World Longboard Championships.

Pacha Luque Light
Co-producer
Pacha was born in the Ecuadorian Andes to environmental activist parents working with local communities protecting some of the most precious forest ecosystems on the planet. She came across surfing almost by accident at 10 years old - the only way she could afford a new board was by 'dance busking'. Pro-surfer Laura Enever saw her, joined in and gave Pacha her backup board.
Pacha has since gone on to travel the globe, competing on the World Qualifying Series, learning, connecting and sharing stories of incredible people from many different cultures and backgrounds, seeking a deeper purpose along the way. Pacha has returned to Ecuador in recent years, spending time with family and deepening her connection to her Ecuadorian roots.
