Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture (2023) reclaims the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing. Braiding historical accounts with modern-day testimonials, the film dismantles the racial barriers of conventional surf culture, delves into the overlooked history of Black surfing’s legacy, and honors its current movement—inspiring the next generation of Black surfers.

After the screening, engage in a lively Q&A session with the filmmakers and fellow enthusiasts. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the depths of cinema and connect with like-minded individuals. See you there!

There’s more! This event will be preceded by a “pre-party” at Baby Dudes Cafe (307 Morro Bay Blvd) at 5:30.
