Set in the sweltering summer of 2003, Wild Goat Surf unfolds in a fading RV park in Penticton, deep in the heart of the Okanagan Valley. Thirteen-year-old Goat, a skateboarding misfit with an all-consuming dream of becoming a surfer, roams the long, unstructured days of youth with reckless energy. As her mother juggles two jobs and sublets their rental to make ends meet, Goat is left to her own devices, channeling her grief into wild, boundary-pushing antics that spiral beyond her control. A raw and nostalgic coming-of-age story, Wild Goat Surf has been capturing audiences’ hearts and leaving a lasting impression wherever it travels.
