"We are changing surf culture by reclaiming the spaces that we've been pushed away from, reshaping the image of what a surfer should look like, and retelling the story of women of color and the ocean!"

“And you’re getting supported by people who you can identify with. You look to these people and you have similar experiences. The support that they’re giving you is similar to the support they’d be able to give themselves. To be outside in the sun, near water, and nature with other amazing, powerful women of color, that experience in itself is so valuable. And there’s not enough places for us to do that.”
-L. Roy Spencer, participant
“It makes me focus. It holds a space for me to have all of my thoughts and not have to rush through figuring them out. When I’m out in the water, I’m focusing on just one thing.”
