Following [a] racist incident [off Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles], [surf-and-arts collective] Black Sand hosted a Peace Paddle to reset the tone and show the surfing community that peace and inclusivity are the best ways to combat hate. This report by Malik Peay was published by Patagonia.
“Black Sand seeks to build a community of Black surfers, help them through the intimidating beginner’s stage and inspire other people of color to take up space where they feel liberated.”
