Catching Waves with Lou Harris and the Black Surfing Association

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham talk to Lou Harris, the founder and director of the East Coast Chapter of the Black Surfing Association. Based out of the Rockaways in New York City, Harris and BSA offer boards and surfing lessons free of charge. With a compelling social media presence and strong community support, Harris has organized paddle-outs that can bring as many as 500 surfers to the beach to support reforms in police violence and gun control, and has earned the endorsement of major surf brands that donate gear and clothing to the cause. Don't miss this great July 4th show, only on ASPN!
