Learn More –  Instagram: @Black.Surfers \n\n\n\nDavid Mesfin – Director\, Writer and Producer\, Wade in The Water \n\n\n\nBorn in Ethiopia\, David migrated to the United States at an early age. Growing up in St. Augustine\, Florida\, he was immersed in a vibrant local surf culture that conceived his passion for the ocean and nature.  \n\n\n\nAfter moving to the West Coast to receive his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication and Advertising from California State University\, Long Beach\, David connected with a community of Black surfers that introduced him to the historical context of surfing in Africa.  \n\n\n\nThese formative experiences\, which connect his lifelong passion and ancestral roots\, spawned the creative inspiration and community-based collaborations that have bloomed into Wade in the Water. \n\n\n\nBeyin Abraha – Executive Director\, Wade in the Water \n\n\n\nBorn in Ethiopia\, of Eritrean descent\, and raised in Toronto\, Beyin’s introduction to surfing came through a college roommate. He’s been hooked ever since.  \n\n\n\nIn his day to day life\, Abraha works with Beats by Dre as a Mechanical Product Design Engineer specialized on in-ear headphones. He has also enjoyed similar positions at Apple with the iPhone design team as well as at Tesla working on the iconic Model 3 electric vehicle in the past. \n\n\n\nAs an active community member\, Abraha is the project manager and founding member of Sofly Surf School\, an organization that gives free surf lessons in Huntington Beach\, and holds the position of vice-chair on the board for PaddleforPeace\, an organization offering holistic approaches to introducing people to the practice of surfing and protecting the ocean.  \n\n\n\nAfter being contacted by David to be featured in Wade in the Water (2022)\, Beyin’s passion for surfing and community connections soon saw him transition into an integral role of bringing the project to life on shoot days as well as behind the scenes making sure things are on track. \n\n\n\nKayiita Johansson – Founder\, Black.Surfers \n\n\n\nKayiita Johansson was born and raised in Minnesota. After living in Texas and NYC\, Johnson moved to northern California in 2016 and lived there until settling in Oakland\, California in 2021. He earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota and a master’s degree in business administration from Stanford. Formerly a product manager for Google Nest and a semiconductor sales and firmware engineer at Texas Instruments\, he currently works as a product manager at a self-driving car company. Johansson has been surfing since 2014 and said he was drawn to the sport from the feeling of flowing with nature. It was an inevitable sport for him\, he said\, after spending much time skateboarding\, swimming and body surfing throughout his childhood. He is the founder of the Black.Surfers\, an organization that aims to attain equitable access to surfing for Black people through policy and community. They run a 600-person digital community chat\, host surf trips\, and advocate for policy change to remove the systemic barriers that prevent Black people from enjoying surfing. \n\n\n\nAdriana Dominique Guerrero-Nardone\, Executive Director – Brown Girl Surf She/They/Ella/ Elle \n\n\n\nAdriana is the current Executive Director of Brown Girl Surf.
