Love the "I need someone who old enough to remember the Clinton administration" line

"If you don't have any money, I'll teach you for free"

THAT IS THE HAWAIIAN WAY. Mahalo to you. Thank you for sharing our culture.

I love Dulce. Mans was really talking about being criticized by black people for swimming and surfing and she was like "yeah, some of us listend to maroon 5 and..." 😂😂😂

Dulce is wearing the entire opening of '90s Saved By The Bell on that shirt!

2:28 free surf lessons in Coney Island is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard. That can really change the trajectory of someone’s life and definitely their spirit.

Nick Gabaldon was the first African American professional surfer, he taught himself to surf. Ms. Sloan it's cool that you are trying to surf.

A friend of mine asked me why it seemed like nearly all the Black contestants on _The Amazing Race_ were so absolutely terrified of water that they'd often break down into tears when faced with a water challenge. When I explained to him that segregation prevented or limited the access of Black people to public pools, and the inability to swim had perpetuated through the generations because of the cultural imprint that Blacks don't swim, he was moved almost to tears himself.

[Emmmm]

I had the opportunity to work with a similar program when I was a teenager, and it’s so great to see more of these! While I was there, though, I never actually surfed because I was too afraid of not being able to push myself up. I wish I had seen this video years ago, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen another fat woman like myself surfing before. Seeing Dulce doing it happily, even if she’s just laying on the board, gives me immense joy and makes me a little sad for my younger self who was so afraid to even try. I know that’s not what this video was about at all, but that kind of makes it even more meaningful in a way. Thank you ❤

Wow, look at the beauty and positivity of this man. We need more like this.

[medusagorgon]

This is truly awesome! So glad he decided to take the initiative with the youth! Dulce is too funny!🏄🏾‍♀️

[LindaMitchell]

Congratulations to Dulce for going for it! Mr. Harris is doing a wonderful job helping kids learn to surf that may not have had the opportunity to try it. I love hearing about people like him. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Dulce with her natural humor just hits different

[TheHappyHoopDancer]

My black roommate was from Wisconsin and didn’t have opportunities to learn to swim since his parents were scared of the water since they didn’t know. He wanted to break that. As an adult he took swim lessons all year and on his first 4th of July pool party where he got in the pool he was on cloud nine. We couldn’t get him out of the pool 😍

[wendelynanderson]

#respect to Dulce for trying something she’s not done before 😊

[kaymel]

When Dulce said; "I'm gonna drown".🤣🤣🤣

[Pretzel]

The other guest hosts did field pieces where they interviewed people on the street... Dulce goes surfing

Wow she's so creative and inspired

[Thingymabob]

Man, Dulce is probably my favorite correspondent. She just emits so much charisma and natural humor.

[miserylitmedia]

Just a heads up - if TDS is off because of the Writer's Strike, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let Dulce finish up her week once the strike's over!
