What is DUDE?

Q: Where does the name DUDE come from? What does it mean?

A: DUDE was originally chosen by the UCSD Air Squids (who founded the org in 1994) as a clever acronym for “Diego Ultimate Disc Experience.”

To many people in Southern California, “dude” is a non-gendered word. The popular usage of “dude” has roots in surfing culture and evokes San Diego’s fun-loving beach culture.

DUDE promotes opportunities in the sport of Ultimate for all its members.
