Brave Beachley ─ The True Story of World Champion Surfer Layne Beachley

Brave Beachley tells the tale of Australian Layne Beachley and how she chased her dream to become a world champion surfer.

"Because tough times are sure to happen.
They are part and parcel of life's plan.
But don't let those tough times stop you,
pick yourself up and say: 'I CAN!'"
