Here To Play. Here To Stay
All Shades Of Joy…Brown and Blue
Our ancestors look down from the stars and think, “the sky was never your limit, but rather your starting point”.
The ladies of Textured Waves are incredibly humbled by the reception of our presence within the surf community and beyond. The fascination. The support. The camaraderie. We are stoked!
Our fast growing community is a true testament that it is time to “sea” us. Women of color on surfboards. Women of color diving. Women of color water photographers. Women of color living dynamic aquatic lifestyles.
As we continue to forge our own history in surf culture, we acknowledge the intricate lattice of root work that has been set before us.
Welcome to R O O T S of Textured Waves!
R O O T S is a visual series that endeavors to highlight and celebrate the places, people and things that earmarked historical shifts in our culture. Shifts initiated by incredible figures in our past...who empower us all.
Over the next few weeks, we will explore a different location within the U.S. that uncovers our R O O T S.
Hopefully, this series will remind us all of our rich heritage and inspire you to uncover your R O O T S as well!
