Race & Surfing: A Brief History With Selema Masekela

Race & Surfing: A Brief History With Selema Masekela

An animated documentary for Red Bull Surfing’s mini series ‘In Plain Sight’. Surfing’s history – from Africa to Polynesia to the Americas – is one that’s rich, diverse, and incredibly nuanced. So much so, that we are only beginning to scratch the surface and understand it. Voiced by Selema Masekela, the film explores the varied roots of surfing’s origin and its subsequent cultural evolution into what we recognise today. In partnership with 1 Planet One People, a collective activation that supports climate action, racial and social equality.
