Black Surf Santa Cruz (BSSC) is dedicated to creating intentional, inclusive, and supportive environments for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within ocean and outdoor recreation spaces.

Our mission is to promote physical, spiritual, emotional, and communal healing through surfing, education, and recreation.

We center Black community members and other historically and presently excluded people of color in our programming, adhering to the guiding principle of “Let’s learn together.”
