MISSION
We support gender diversity in recreational & professional surfing.
We acknowledge previous owners of the land & beaches in paying our respects to Elders past, present & emerging.
The ocean is for everyone.
VISION
We invite you to envision a world in which trans & non-binary people are welcomed, included & celebrated in our recreational & professional surf communities.
INCLUSION
Trans, Nonbinary & Gender Expansive people belong in the lineup.
Athletic performance is influenced by biological & psychological factors as well as environmental factors such as access to healthcare, financial stability, housing security, access to youth sports, family support, transportation & access to training & coaching. External factors also impact access to competitive athletics, a partial list includes: human rights, politics, judicial decisions, laws, policies, discrimination, abuse & lack of pay parity.
We oppose the weaponization of any of these factors to target & attack trans athletes.
Support for Inclusion:
In athletics, we support the inclusion of trans women/girls & men/boys in the gendered category that fits their gender identity.
We support nonbinary athletes in the category of their choosing, & look to them as primary resources in decision-making for the future of pro competition that expands beyond the binary of women’s & men’s sports.
In professional sports, we support the inclusion of trans women/girls, trans men/boys & non-binary athletes in gendered divisions that best match their gender identity.
