We held five Surf Sister Saturdays this spring, with a total of 69 participants and 31 volunteers! We had a lot of first-time participants this spring – including a group of girls from the Urban Promise Academy in Oakland! There was an explosion in demand this year, with one of the sessions having 43 people on the waitlist!! We continually get feedback that there is no other organization that does what we do – create a safe, inviting, and accessible space for girls and women of color to connect with the ocean, the sport of surfing, and each other. We are stoked to fill an unmet need in so many lives. The 2019 Spring Surf Sister Saturdays were supported by the CA Coastal Conservancy (Explore the Coast program), Youth Outside, Patagonia, San Francisco Foundation, and other institutional partners – and your individual contributions! With your support, we are working hard to increase the number of surf program days to match our growing community!
