Black Surfing Network

Black Surfing Network Where the Surf and Soul Connect.

"We are a community of surfers from African descent, who have chosen to enrich our lives and the lives of others through the sport and art of surfing." Our goals are therefore to:

• Promote awareness of and provide education about Black surfing worldwide.
• To promote and encourage the sport/art of surfing to otherwise marginalized communities in Los Angeles.
• Provide meaningful ways for surfers

of African descent to strengthen their sense of belonging with each other, with the traditional surfing community and with our ocean.
• Mentor novice surfers to improve their techniques as well as helping them to pursue other resources to support their surfing aspirations.
• Pursue ocean conservation and education.
