Where we stand today, the ways in which we move and take up space, and the freedom we have to surf, march, dance, perform, and exist in the ways we choose to would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the many LGBTQIA+ leaders throughout history. While where we are today is nowhere near where we should be and our fight is still being fought, we are looking to the past to honour those who paved the way for us, and to reignite the sense of responsibility in our communities of sport to create and maintain inclusive, safe spaces rooted in solidarity and the love for water.

In the first of our four-part Pride series this month, we are maintaining our commitment to the Queer community by sharing stories and resources from within our circles: a list of reads, films and voices that have deeply impacted our lives, our business, and our perspective.
