Influencers Surf SoCal Beach Destinations in Lead Up to California Surfing Day

To support surf destinations and build hype for California Surfing Day on Sept. 20, Visit California hosted prominent surfers and content creators this summer. The three influencers attended the Huntington Beach event A Great Day in the Stoke — the largest gathering of Black surfers in history! — and visited SoCal surf hotspots. 

The surfing and travel influencers toured beach destinations, sharing photos in and out of the water to their combined 400,000 global Instagram followers.
