Looking for a powerful, inspiring night out in the South Bay? Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 22, as the South Bay Boardriders Club hosts a special community screening of Maya and the Wave at the Hermosa Beach Community Center.

The event kicks off the weekend festivities for the Queen of the South Bay (QOTSB) surf contest with a film that celebrates strength, courage, and resilience. Maya and the Wave follows Brazilian big-wave surfer Maya Gabeira on her journey to break records in a male-dominated sport, facing both physical and societal challenges along the way.

Before the screening, guests are invited to a free courtyard reception outside the theater starting at 6 PM. Enjoy live music, community connection, and a laid-back vibe before heading into the Community Theatre for the film. Contestant swag bags will also be distributed during the event.

Admission is free, but space is limited—make sure to RSVP through the Eventbrite link above to secure your spot.

Whether you're a surfer, a film lover, or simply want to be part of a meaningful local event, this is a great way to spend a Thursday evening in Hermosa.
