Next Saturday, Huntington Beach will host “A Great Day in the Stoke,” a large gathering of Black surfers. It’s an annual event that began three years ago. Events will include a surf contest, free surf lessons for attendees, beach yoga, Double Dutch, and more. Moreover, the organizers hope to capture an iconic photo similar to A Great Day in Harlem (1958) and A Great Day in Hip-Hop (1998).
I’m sure the organizers know exactly what they are doing, and understand the well-known history of Huntington Beach… the belly of the beast, so to speak…
