QUIKSILVER - - - ICONS ARE FOR EVERYONE
Surfing culture is always changing, evolving, moving and improvising—in some ways reflectingnthe act of surfing itself. And as surfing culture grows to include more voices and represent anbroader range of experiences, it only becomes more dynamic.nnThis Pride Month, we’re celebrating that evolution through “Icons Are For Everyone”, a series ofnstories highlighting LGBTQ+ leaders who are creating a more inclusive surfing culture. You maynhave read about the work of ever-provocative artist and surfer Stephen Milner, who imagined annalternative, queer surf history in his book “A Spiritual Good Time”. Maybe you’ve heard aboutnNew York’s Benny’s Club, which hosts surf meetups for queer and BIPOC wave sliders in thenRockaways. Perhaps you follow the Instagram page for Queer Surf Club, which uplifts the surfnexperiences of queer surfers from around the globe. But if not, it’s time you should.nnThese folks are at the forefront of change in surfing culture—a culture with a history rife withnhomophobia. They’re making the queer surf experience more visible and creating space for allnsurfers to more fully express who they are—and surfing culture is better for their efforts.nnTo show our support, Quiksilver will be uplifting their stories all month long, and helping themnbring new initiatives to life. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating these leaders throughout PridenMonth, and continue supporting them long after for their work making surfing moreninclusive—and more dynamic.nnLearn more at www.Quiksilver.com/IconsAreForEveryonennMusic: Metro Verlaine nhttps://metroverlaine.bandcamp.com/
