Costa Rica – The Shape of Freedom
A Surf Foiling Journey Beyond Limits
Two girls on an exploration mission. The Shape of Freedom is a cinematic short filmed in Costa Rica, following Paula Novotna and Chiara Socin on a journey shaped by ocean energy, wild landscapes, and the pursuit of movement in its purest form.

Blending high-speed Tow Foiling action with quiet lifestyle moments, the film moves seamlessly between intensity and calm — from powerful open ocean lines and endless glide to the stillness and raw beauty of the Costa Rican jungle. It captures not only the thrill of speed and movement, but also the atmosphere of a place where nature feels alive in every moment.
Rather than telling a linear story, this edit conveys a feeling: the experience of being fully immersed in an environment where everything flows to its own rhythm and every session becomes part of something bigger.
It's a story about connection — to nature, to motion, and to those fleeting moments where everything aligns and you feel completely present, free, and in tune with your surroundings.
