Happy Pride Month! đłď¸âđ Surfing is for everyone! We're grateful for our Seea community, brimming with vibrant, caring, and ripping surfers who support each other. At Seea, we aim to foster a space where everyone feels seen and supported. We support the LGBTQIA+ community and thank all the queer folks on our team and in our community. Thanks to all who make our lineup welcoming, inclusive, and brighter! Let's continue pushing to ensure surfing embraces everyone. â¤ď¸
We want surfing to be as open and inclusive as possible; Every session is better with a big and loving community, where everyone feels accepted and seen. In honor of Pride month, here are a few awesome Queer Surf groups to support, join, and appreciate! If you're queer (or an ally) and are looking for more queer folks to surf with or you're queer and have always wanted to try surfing, check out these groups! They are doing incredible work on the beach and in the lineup to queer the water and create space for LGBTQIA+ folks in surfing. Follow these queer surf groups on Instagram and find queer community in and out of the water.
