Surfing is a predominately white, male sport, and the intense localism has kept out many young women of color. Brown Girl Surf is changing that and giving girls the opportunity to learn to catch waves, as well as creating a warm, welcoming surf community.
This video is part of a 2-year series by YR Media to highlight California-based nonprofits uplifting Black and Brown communities by providing them with a new platform to talk about their work, issues and the people they serve. These organizations are focusing on the needs of housing affordability, income inequality, racial justice and more.
