She Shreds is an annual event hosted by Surf the Greats. From the onset, our goal has been to create and support an environment where local women feel welcome to experience Great Lakes surfing, with no cost or equipment barrier, and no prior experience required — just a willingness to try something new. In our community, She Shreds is a time for surf and sisterhood. It’s when we reset and remind ourselves of why we love to surf on the Great Lakes. And, as we grow our community of lake surfers we remain mindful that the best communities are those which are welcoming, open, inclusive and representative. Video by Leticia Marques.

November is the time of the year when our biggest swells start to emerge. It’s also when the weather turns cold, our days turn shorter, and many Canadians feel the effects of seasonal affective disorder and many other mental health challenges. On Friday, November 27th, a few Toronto surfers and musicians came together to fundraise and shed some light on mental health. Here's the live recording of our first ever Jack Friday—this year taking shape as a live, free, online jam session in support of youth mental health.
