  • Surfing, Gender and Politics: Identity and Society in the History of South African Surfing Culture in the Twentieth-Century
    Surfing, gender and politics: Identity and society in the history of South African surfing culture in the twentieth-century. by Glen Thompson Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Albert M.

Date: 8 October 2014 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a socio-cultural history of the sport of surfing from 1959 to the 2000s in South Africa. It critically engages with the “South African Surfing History Archive”, collected in the course of research, by focusing on two inter-related themes in contributing to a critical sports historiography in southern Africa. The first is how surfing in South Africa has come to be considered a white, male sport. The second is whether surfing is political. In addressing these topics the study considers the double whiteness of the Californian influences that shaped local surfing culture at “whites only” beaches during apartheid. The racialised nature of the sport can be found in the emergence of an amateur national surfing association in the mid-1960s and consolidated during the professionalisation of the sport in the mid-1970s.

Therefore, some emergent market niches like surf tourism have been developed in numerous coastal destinations to attract sustainability-sensitive tourists due to the ongoing environmental challenges and the socio-economic crisis. Cape Town is positioned in a prominent place in terms of competitiveness, with a considerable variety of beaches and surf spots facing multiple issues. The aim of this study is to try to identify the most competitive beaches and subdistricts in terms of sustainability and to suggest criteria for surf-tourism-related indicators to obtain an overview about this space, using weighting indicators, and applying geography and political economy lenses. The results reveal that Strand, Table View, and Surfers’ Corner are the most competitive beaches. Additionally, beaches located in some Citation: Martín-González, R.; Swart, underprivileged areas such as Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha are potentially interesting from a socio- K.; Luque-Gil, A.-M.

Invitations to the Mavericks Surf Contest in California, the Nelscott Reef Paddle-in Classic in Oregon and the Stand Up World Tour event at Makaha in Hawaii are recognition for the 35-year-old Capetonian’s pioneering exploits in huge surf around the globe over the past decade. “I’m truly honoured to be invited to these events where only athletes who have proven themselves in the world’s heaviest waves make the cut,” Bertish said. “I love surfing big waves, it's my passion, and to be representing South Africa amongst the elite 24 invitee’s from around the globe at Mavericks, the 12 at Nelscott Reef and to be seeded into the top 16 in the world for the first ever SUP World Champs is a huge honour and privilege.” Bertish’s string of ground-breaking feats include becoming the first surfer to paddle into and ride waves at the primarily tow-in venues of Jaws (Maui, Hawaii), Ghost Trees (California) and the Cribber (Cornwall, England) while at home he introduced Stand Up Paddleboarding at the daunting Dungeons break near Hout Bay and Whale Rock in Table Bay along with being the first to tow-in at Seal Island in False Bay, statistically the most densely populated Great White shark venue in the world.

  • A Systematic Review of Surf Tourism Research (1997–2011) Steven Andrew Martin∗ & Ilian Assenov
    Journal of Sport & Tourism, 2012 Vol. 17, No. 4, 257–287, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14775085.2013.766528 The genesis of a new body of sport tourism literature: a systematic review of surf tourism research (1997–2011) Steven Andrew Martin∗ & Ilian Assenov Surf tourism is a rapidly expanding market segment of the wider sport tourism industry and the purpose of this study is to provide an analytical interpretation of surf tourism research. Published and unpublished literature from 1997 through to 2011 was collected through searching a variety of academic databases and communicating directly with the authors themselves. A systematic review was employed to identify and analyze the types of research emerging from international journals, universities, governments, and the not-for-profit sector. The study indicates a genesis in sport tourism literature, representing a new and available body of surf tourism research. We find that this new area of research has arisen mainly from the grey literature through the works of graduate students and consultants. Surfing events, artificial surfing reefs, and the sustainability of surf sites and host communities are among the most prolific areas under discussion and key arguments include socioeconomics, coastal management, and sustainable tourism. Approximately 10% of countries in the world with coastal surfing resources have been studied, and this and other findings indicate the potential for new areas of research in domestic and international tourism.

  • Representaciones Sociales De Los Impactos Del Turismo De Surf En Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México”
    Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Facultad de Turismo y Gastronomía Centro de Investigación y Estudios Turísticos “Representaciones sociales de los impactos del turismo de surf en Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México” Tesis Que para obtener el grado de Maestro en Estudios Turísticos Presenta: Lic. en A. T. Luis Alberto Valencia Chávez Dirigida por: Dra. Maribel Osorio García Dr. Juan Carlos Monterrubio Cordero Dra. Rocío del Carmen Serrano Barquín Toluca, Estado de México; septiembre 2020 Resumen El turismo es un fenómeno que tiene la capacidad de generar impactos positivos y negativos a partir de su presencia en los destinos turísticos. De esta forma, tanto los residentes, el ambiente y ciertos aspectos culturales se pueden ver beneficiados, pero también afectados considerablemente. A partir de entender esa dualidad y teniendo presente que tipos específicos de turismo pueden causar impactos particulares, esta investigación toma como tema central al turismo de surf; un segmento importante en el ámbito del turismo deportivo y de aventura, pero que en el caso de México y en la gran mayoría de los países en vías de desarrollo parece ser casi desconocido. El marco teórico utilizado es la teoría de las representaciones sociales (TRS) propuesta por Moscovici. La TRS sostiene que los sujetos son creadores y portadores un cúmulo de conocimientos que forma parte de su sentido común y que les permite entender la realidad y actuar frente a ella. Tomando en consideración que entre los sujetos de un grupo social existen formas similares, pero también opuestas de ver la realidad, Moscovici señala la coexistencia de tres tipos de representaciones: hegemónicas, polémicas y emancipadas; cada una con particularidades específicas que adquieren sentido en las interrelaciones de los sujetos.

We’ve exhibited more than 1,500 independent films by national and international filmmakers as well as films and videos produced Entertain. in the greater Santa Cruz County and Monterey Bay area.

We have been looking forward to the opportunity to join the other artists and arts organizations present at the Tannery, and now that the Colligan Theater is completed, we have found a new, vibrant home for the Santa Cruz Film Festival. This year’s exciting lineup includes several EarthVision themed documentaries about the environment, as well as creativity and arts-based themes to honor our new home in the Tannery Arts Center, as well as LGBT issues to partner with the Santa Cruz Pride events occurring the same weekend as this year’s film festival.
