Wayward is a feature documentary about the women who changed snowboarding by refusing to follow the status quo. Spanning 4 decades of progression, the film weaves together rare archival footage and firsthand accounts from pioneering athletes who fought for visibility, opportunity, and respect in a male-dominated industry. As the sport has evolved and new generations push boundaries further than ever before, Wayward examines what it took to get here, and what still lies ahead. This is a story of resilience, rebellion, and the power of those who shaped a sport & a culture into what it is today.
