Surfing has become a global phenomenon and the manners governing proper surf eti- quette vary from place to place, culture to cul- ture, and even person to person. Unlike most societies and cultures which have written rules of behavior, as a global sub-culture is not regulated by any one authority or govern- ment. This is to say that at a , there is no policing authority or referee except with the individual surfers themselves. Manners in the water are therefore implicit and often place-specific. This raises the question: “So what is the etiquette one should follow when surf- ing in Hawai‘i?” I set out across the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus in order to get student perceptions. Though I occasionally received conflicting responses, I was able to identify a general consensus about good and bad man- ners when surfing in Hawai‘i.

Good Manners

1. Being considerate – This entails sharing waves, giving respect to others and paying attention to safety in the water.

2. Following right of way – right of way is given to either the first person standing on JESSE BOWMAN • Ka Leo O Hawai‘i the wave or the person who takes off closest to the peak of the wave.
