Introducing #HUCKYES:
A New Campaign Centered on Consent

Friends. Whether you’re new to ultimate or you’re a seasoned vet who peaked in the ‘80s, it’s about time we had a chat about the birds and the bees… Upwind style.

You see, folks, when two ultimate players at a tournament party love, like, or even barely know one another, magical things can happen. Together, they might dance the night away to Beyonce, R. Kelly, or Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend.” They might also rip a few [dozen] Jello shots and subsequently dominate the beer pong table. They might even get blissfully lost in a forest together, regardless of whether or not it’s a camping tournament.

But enough about me and my hypothetical dream date. I want to talk about YOU and that special someone you’ve had your eye on for the past four games. No matter who you are or where your night with your new bae takes you, there’s one thing that should undeniably remain constant: your responsibility to give and receive consent before it gets hot and heavy.

That’s why this winter, Upwind will be at LA Throwback, Lei Out, and Kaimana, promoting its newest campaign, #HUCKYES. The #HUCKYES campaign aims to remind ultimate players at tournament parties that getting consent is incontestable... and hella sexy. We’ll be (consensually) spreading the love by handing out sweet #HUCKYES tattoos and continuing the conversation about the importance of safe, consensual sex. Come find us!

Get the green light first – consent is something we can all say #HUCKYES to!
