- A Must watch to the end... When I joined Black Surfers Collective back in 2014 for free Surf Lessons, I quickly realized how important this Surf life really was in our Community and wanted to learn as much about it as I could as well as the People who were keeping it together. I've met at least half of the people in this video and there are a lot more who I didn't include not because they weren't relevant it's just the video can only be so long with my attention span. However, I hope I captured value of how precious these brave women and men were for building organizations and competing post segregation and Jim Crow era which I'm sure was very challenging so I salute them all as well as the growth of our Culture... So here is my take on a brief History about The Black Surfers here in California as well as abroad who are not only doing great things in their own Communities but creating a Legacy along the way. Because it's not a Hobby, it's a LIfestyle...
I started about a year ago and I LOVE IT. I’m in Atl but believe I’ll keep it going. One of the best sports I EVER participated in
Oh that's awesome to hear, I have a surf bro near ATL that surfs over there, it's not big waves but it's surf, you should google it.
Thank you SO MUCH for this documentary, I never knew the melanated roots of surfing and my 1 year old is in love with the water… I may have a future surfer and I’m so proud of my people✨✨✨✨🤍
Glad you enjoyed it! You're so welcome, sorry some of these messages I don't see right away.. Good luck with your future Surfer, that's exciting..
Thank you for recognizing, acknowledging and expanding on our rich aquatic heritage. Please continue to keep us informed. Regards
Thank you Mimi for this great perspective on Surfing. I appreciate it and your positive impact this movie expressed.

Sister this amazing!!! Im from long beach ca, and years ago my coworker was gonna show me how to surf but he died before he could ever teach me. I had a custom board and everything but i lost that chance.. Can you list the black owned surf classes and work shops? Id love to reach out to them...
Oh Nooo... sorry to hear that... Wow you got a custom board and everything.. Yes, my Surf Bro Kai teaches Surfing... I have a few videos about them on here... I'll make another today... Get you on some waves this Month.. Namaste Day
This Shawn O'Wella Board Shaper, do you have any contact info on him? Would love to support a black shaper.
Hey Yes I do have Sean Owolo's info.. You can find him under his name on IG Sean Owolo his handle is Citizeno... He's super cool. Let him know you saw this video because he's particular about who he makes boards so this will have more meaning for him...
Your content is so dope it is mind-blowing
Thank you Zaki...

White people did not invent surfing. The Polynesians did. So you could say that white people technically appropriated it but surfing is pretty much for everybody.
