I’m a gay surfer who’s doing a kickstarter campaign for a new webseries. It’s not all about surfing but some of it definitely is.

Almost four years ago, an article from a gay surfer named Thomas arrived in my inbox. The piece detailed his experience navigating the nuanced and often-hypocritical norms of surf culture as a homosexual man. His experience was so lopsided – weighted by generally homophobic behavior – that he was honestly unsure if any other gay surfers existed […]
