The Joyful History of Black Surfing
The Joyful History of Black Surfing
Mar 30, 2025 11:10 PM

  The first written accounts of surfing in Africa predate accounts of surfing in Hawaii by 100 years. In his new movie, Wade in the Water, documentarian David Mesfin asks: What else have we glossed over in the history of Black surfing? The result is a stunning look at Black suffering and Black joy, and how a group of people who have been stereotyped as avoiding water actually have a deep and meaningful history with the ocean.
