Liberation Paddle Out 2022

Black Surf Santa Cruz is hosting our second annual Liberation Paddle Out event in celebration of Juneteenth at Cowell Beach. The Liberation Paddle Out is a full day celebration in concert with the annual Santa Cruz Juneteenth celebration at the London Nelson Center to invite both BSSC members and the general public for a day out on the ocean with a line-up of event speakers, celebration of BSSC member achievements, and increased visibility and representation of diversity in the lineup in honor of racial reckoning awakening for some, and the continued journey to equity and justice in all spaces including the coast and ocean.
