The “Boldy Pushing Surf and Snow Culture Forward” panel accompanied by the “Social Advocate Award” focused on three female athletes—Keala Kennelly, Michelle Parker, and Bianca Valenti—and how women are continuing to raise the bar both in athletic progression as well as equality in the surf and snow industries. Discussions touched on surfing heritage as it relates to women’s surfing and how this community is starting to make great strides towards gender equality in the sport compared to its disappointing past filled with gender inequality.
