"In three years I've become a completely different person, and it was because of going into the ocean."

"To me, it was the key to my puzzle."

Some stories remind us of the magic woven into everyday life—the small miracles, the unexpected friendships, and the moments of courage that shine through even in the darkest times. Paddle Out is one of those stories.

This inspiring and uplifting feature documentary follows the journey of Melissa, a 33-year-old surfer with Cystic Fibrosis, who refused to let anything—not even the need for an oxygen tank—keep her from the waves. What began as a simple filming project turned into an extraordinary friendship and a powerful lesson in resilience, joy, and the art of living fully.

This film will uplift and inspire you, filling your heart with hope and reminding you that even in the face of adversity, life has a way of surprising us with its magic.
