Reese Witherspoon's 'Surf Girls Hawaii' on Prime Video Appears to Be Canceled

Surfing, historically, has struggled with mainstrem-ification.

For example, throughout the ages, surfing has had a hard time resonatingg with mass market audiences through their preferred vehicle of consumption – TV and film.

As such, viewership for surf shows and movies are negligible.

However, there's folks out there still fighting the good fight.

The latest of which, Surf Girls Hawaii, from actor Reese Witherspoon’s production company Hello Sunshine and airing on Amazon Prime Video, has appeared to have been canceled for a season two.

Per the show creator, Monica Medellin:

“Closing one chapter to write the next! Creating and producing Surf Girls Hawai’i has been a 5 year process with many ups & downs but it was 100% worth it. I hope my work can open up possibilities for girls, women and people of color through the power of sports.

“I’m officially in development for my next TV series and I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me. Thank you everyone for the support!”

So, it looks like Surf Girls Hawaii will headed for the graveyard of canceled mainstream surf shows, where ABC’s The Ultimate Surfer and Apple TV’s Make or Break are accumulating cobwebs.

RIP.

And for a brief breakdown, here’s a snippet from the presser:

“This 4-part docuseries offers behind the scenes access to five of the sport’s most exciting young stars – Moana Jones Wong, Ewe Wong, Maluhia Kinimaka, Pua DeSoto, and Brianna Cope – as they train, navigate family responsibilities, and compete against the highest-ranking surfers in the world to get to the top of the podium.
