Great News! California Board Company has offered to donate a new surfboard to replace the ones stolen from DTS. Big ups to CBC for their generosity! That brings us a little bit closer to our goal. If you know anyone that’s feeling the love to donate, here’s a link- https://gofund.me/cf616637

This surfboard, created by artist Tyler Filkins, for my project Decolonize The Surf, was stolen while I was out of town. It is a very important part of the project. I am sad and angry that some f*cker took it. Santa Cruz/Bay Area folx, please keep an eye out and let me know if you see it anywhere. This is the project it’s part of- www.decolonizethesurf.com. It means alot to me, and I would love to get it back.

Hey, awesome community! Looking for a freelance writer for a feature article in a NoCal surf magazine. Look for someone who knows surfing and is invested in diversity and representation. Turnaround time is quick, August 19. If you know somebody that fits the bill, send them my way. Thanks y’all! community
