“White Thorn Lodge hosts the Nude Volleyball Superbowl
every year on the weekend after Labor Day.
Each year, over 90 teams participate.
Competition includes Men's AA, A and B classes, Women's AA, A and B
classes, and multiple mixed Novice level teams. . . players include both
nudists and non-nudists from all over the world. Over 1500 players and guests gather to play
in and watch the games . . . opening ceremonies, dances, club facilities, corn
roast, nude skydivers. Many teams return
every year for ‘the most unique event in nudism.’ One visitor spoke for every guest: ‘I don't
care where in the world I am next year, I'll find a way to get to Superbowl!’”

“John, a volunteer on the board of the Federation of
Canadian Naturists, has been a naturist for ten years as well as an activist and
free hiker. He fervently described the
greater happiness and freedom he experienced from free hiking and being nude
outdoors. ‘I’m 60 years old, and I feel
20’ . . . When I inquired about his activist side, he spoke of a case he won in
2010 for the rights of hikers to go nude on the trails outside of Orillia. In a form of civil disobedience, John began
hiking the secluded trails in the nude and one day was spotted by two police
officers, who cited him for an indecent act.
However, the judge determined that John’s simple free hiking was not
causing anyone harm and dismissed the case. . . He gained the right to free
hike without being labeled ‘indecent,’ a win of legitimacy for all naturists
and nudists. . . One cannot haphazardly force his or her beliefs on others and
expect it to bring about positive change.
All acts of resistance or protest affect how naturism is perceived and
what laws should be in place.” - https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/nude-activist-drive-thru-canada/
“Morfa Dyffryn is the only official nude beach in the
whole of Wales, and what a great spot it is!
The beach is just outside of the Snowdonia National Park and is in an
amazing spectacular location. . . It’s also possible to wander at will amongst
the dunes for a couple of hours and never meet another person. Perfect for those who want to walk naked for
as long as possible.” – https://nakedwalker200.wordpress.com/2013/02/
"Take every opportunity you can to get your duds
off in public settings (barring those times when you would face arrest, unless
on purpose) . . . Sure, we run the risk of someone discovering us, but it might
just give us an opportunity to state our views on simple, social nudity. . .
How about it, naturists? Can you state
your naturist ideals in twenty-five words of less? Would that explanation make sense? . . . A
good friend of mine used to challenge me to elucidate my beliefs clearly,
stating that most people didn’t even understand their own position on a
subject! . . . Don’t miss opportunities to put in a good word for social
nudity. Be proud of those naturist
venues you attend. If you live in a
naturist/nudist community, don’t hide it.
I’m not saying you should stand on a soapbox, handing out leaflets, but
don’t lie about where you stay. . . Is there a cost to this? In some cases, yes, but, if we really believe
in our naturism, shouldn’t we be willing to accept that?" - Tom Pine
