About

Named in honor of Polynesia’s first female surfers, Brown Girl Surf TM is dedicated to fostering a diverse, alternative women’s surf community in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the world.
We do this by offering surf lessons locally, to introduce women and girls of all ages and backgrounds to the great sport of surfing. We sponsor community events and create media which celebrates female surf culture, highlights the achievements of diverse female surf pioneers, and challenges many of the pervasive media norms surrounding women’s surfing. Through the sale of our products and gear, we sponsor, support, and empower surfing women around the world who are working towards social change.
Mission:
Our mission is to elevate the historical significance of trailblazing female surfers, and to connect them with resources and support (and each other!) so they can continue making waves of change in their communities now and for generations to come.
