Brown Girl Surf...

Named in honor of the first female surfers from Polynesia, Brown Girl Surf TM is a journey to find, support and share with you the stories of the world's first female surfers.    The first girls in the Gaza Strip are taught to surf amongst dropping bombs and flying bullets. A 22-year old journalism student becomes India’s first female surfer.  These are the extraordinary stories of Brown Girl Surf TM. 

As your narrator,  Farhana will share with you tips and insights on what she learns along the way not only from the amazing trailblazers she meets, but from her own experience as a surfer, explorer, entrepreneur, and dancer who dreams to one day surf like a pro!  Supported in part by a Brown Girl Surf TM T-Shirt line, our mission is to elevate the historical significance of these unique women and girls, and to connect them with resources and support (and each other!) so they can continue making waves of change in their communities now and for generations to come.  Read more below!
