Rainbow Beaches 2024

At Lifesavers with Pride, we are passionate about promoting and celebrating the diverse vibrancy of our LGBTQIA+ community.

Across Mardi Gras in 2024, Feb 16 - March 3, surf clubs will make visible their inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community by proudly showing the progress flag, hanging up pride banners, wearing rainbow sweatbands and zinc, and whatever else they choose to do!
