With mild temperatures nearly year-round in Southern California, we can be outdoors more than indoors. And while a hike or swim in the ocean is great, why not try something new? Check out these groups getting sporty in the Southland!
GRLSWIRL
All Lucy wanted to do was find a few girls to skateboard with around Venice. It couldn’t be that hard, could it? Turns out, not a lot of girls feel supported or confident enough to grab a board and go for it. That was something Lucy and the 8 other founders of Grlswirl were determined to change. They began hosting group skates and slowly but surely girls of all ages, races, backgrounds and zip codes have joined the GRLSWIRL collective. The group isn’t just about skating, they promote empowerment, encourage stepping out of your comfort zone and lifting one another up in friendship and smiles. Now, across the globe there are Grlswirl chapters and events (World’s Okayest Skate Tour). While it started from a place of girl power, they welcome everyone to skate with them.
