I RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
WITHIN SURFING.

WHO WE ARE

Here at Black Surf Santa Cruz, we are driven by a single goal; to promote physical and spiritual wellness through surf and community here in Santa Cruz County.

We are driven by the need and urgency for inclusivity, diversity, and equality.

Black Surf Santa Cruz aims to tear down barriers that oftentimes keep our oceans segregated. By taking a strategic focus on both physical and spiritual wellness, we aim to create a community of healing for our Black Indigenous, and People of Color Community here in Santa Cruz. Black Surf empowers our Black community to reclaim their space in the ocean through surfing, spiritual wellness, water safety, and community.

Join us as we work to make Santa Cruz County a more inclusive place for all.
