What is your full name? (Whatever you wanna be called) *
What's your phone number? *
Instagram handle (if applicable)
How old are you? (liability purposes, not trying to pry :))
How do you identify racially and/or ethnically? *
Color the Water is intended as a space for Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOC) to access the ocean and surfing, started after the murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others by police. Black and Indigenous people are distinct for us with intention of recognizing the unique and distinct oppression these communities have faced historically and now. Identity is very complicated, especially racial identity. We aim to support those who have undergone oppression and marginalization because of theirs. How has your racial identity and identity as a whole shaped your access to the ocean or lack thereof? What are you doing to oppose anti-Blackness in your life?

(We kindly request that you reflect on this question deeply as you consider us as a resource for your surf dreams.)
