“I felt a sense of joy and ease that I haven’t for a while. The feeling that in a small, but meaningful way, I was watching the world take a very small step to becoming a better place. With incredible breaks all around the world, there are many women of color to look up to in surfing. Still, especially in the United States and in many places, they remain vastly underrepresented and, without community and a sense of welcome, that system perpetuates itself. I’ve watched how well Annette has managed the program in their FIRST YEAR EVER and have so much confidence that they can use what they are given to create real seeds for change.” - P. Tikson
