The official trailer for In Waves unveiled

The story takes us into the sun-drenched world of surfing in Southern California. AJ (Will Sharpe), a reserved high school student from Los Angeles, divides his time between drawing and skateboarding trips with his friends. Kristen (Stephanie Hsu), an energetic surfer, finds in the ocean a tremendous sense of freedom. Their meeting sparks an attraction that gradually turns into a deep love. Kristen then introduces AJ to surfing and shows him the Hawaiian roots of the sport. As their relationship intensifies, AJ sets out to immortalize their story through his drawings, hoping to preserve the memories of their love.

 

In Waves, on December 11 on Netflix

Between a coming-of-age story and a romance, In Waves explores the power of first feelings, the courage to live life to the fullest, and love’s ability to shape our lives, far beyond the memories it leaves behind. In Waves will be released in theaters on November 27, 2026, before being made available on Netflix from December 11, according to the announced schedule.
