First Love is about love, friendship and following your dreams. This feature length surf film documents the lives of three passionate young girls from Phillip Island and follows them to Hawaii the first step on their journey to making a career out of surfing. 17 yr old Jess Laing has grown up surfing with, and competing against her two friends Nikki van Dijk and India Payne. They're all sponsored, surf the breaks and live within 10 minutes of each other. The girls are all different in their own ways, but one things for sure, they all love the same thing. But when Jess is injured everything changes. Her trip to Hawaii is replaced with surgery, recovery and rehab. Its only her love of surfing that pulls her through.
