About Queer Surf:

Queer Surf is a California-based community organization aimed at making the ocean more accessible through knowledge sharing and skill building. Founded in 2015 by former professional surfer Kyla Langen and insatiable boogie boarder/mental health professional Nic Brise, Queer Surf reduces barriers and helps the LGBTQ+ community navigate all aspects of ocean recreation. Through a host of programs and events including lessons, clinics, camps, meet-ups, tide-pooling, kayaking, book clubs, and more, Queer Surf builds community and fosters a safer space for nonbinary, trans, and queer people at the coast.
