“Two generations of feminists helped to build the sport, and now a more racially diverse, third generation looks to expand the women’s surfing community to numbers never before seen and with a pro-environment socially conscious transnational awareness.” -Riding Waves, Forging Communities: Surfing, Gender, and Feminism in 20th Century California
Does it feel like a tide is shifting in women’s surfing? It certainly feels that way to me. Here are some projects I’m really excited about currently (especially the first two), though there are plenty more, both stalwart and new ventures. I will eventually make a page so I can include the growing list of: projects, blogs, online magazines, films, etc. I’m very much looking forward to this new era.
