Inspired by Un Mar de Colores’s mission to cultivate inclusivity and ocean stewardship for children of color and underserved youth in the surfing community, this live event brings together a diverse lineup of ocean athletes, artists and activists like Selema Masekela, Cliff Kapono, Claudia Pineda Tibbs, Paul Cannon and Kosuke Fujikura to discuss what environmental and social justice look like and what it means to create a more equitable future for both people and planet.
Following the discussion, there will be a live Q&A with our panelists!
